The remedy I have in mind, of course, is faster economic growth – the one thing that can raise living standards, reduce excessive inequalities, improve job prospects, alleviate trade tensions, and even moderate geopolitical pressures. And most forecasters – including the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank – are now predicting that global growth will pick up in 2014, and that it will be more balanced among the world’s major economic regions.
我脑海中的这项措施，很显然，就是更快速的经济增长——它可以提升生活水平，缩小过度贫富差距，改善工作前景，缓解贸易摩擦，甚至还能缓和地缘政治压力。而大多数预测者——包括来自国际货币基金组织和世界银行的那批——如今都预测全球增长会在2014年上扬，而且在全球主要经济区域中变得更加均衡。
