NEWPORT BEACH – Two variants of financial crisis continue to wreak havoc on Western economies, fueling joblessness and poverty: the one that we read about regularly in newspapers, involving governments around the world; and a less visible one at the level of small and medium-size businesses and households. Until both are addressed properly, the West will remain burdened by sluggish growth, persistently high unemployment, and excessive income and wealth inequality.
发自纽波特滩——金融危机的两个变体正继续蹂躏着西方经济，令失业和贫穷状况进一步加剧：一个是我们经常在报纸上读到的涉及各国政府的金融危机；另一个不那么起眼的则是中小型企业和家庭层面上的危机。 在这两种危机得到恰当应对之前，西方世界将继续背负着增长滞缓、失业率长期居高及收入与财富差距过大的负担。
