And you may wonder, OK, that's all fine, sounds great -- moral direction in history -- but what about this so-called clash of civilizations? Well, first of all, I would emphasize that it fits into the non-zero-sum framework, OK.

好吧，你可能会好奇， 听起来不错--历史的道德维度-- 但是怎么解释那些不同文明之间的冲突？首先， 我要强调一下，这些冲突的发生也是符合非零和机制的， 如果我们仔细看看 所谓的穆斯林世界与西方世界的关系-- 这两个词是我不喜欢用的，但是又无法避免使用它们-- 在这么短的时间内，没什么比这两个词更高效了。
