The cost of products and services has already become a part of history with the coming of the new era. If economic transformations succeed, and they must, then people will have to dig deeper into their pockets for goods and services. (Kuanjeng Chen, Research Fellow in the Institute of the Three Principles of the People at Academia Sinica / tr. by SMR)
換句話說，廉價的服務與產品已隨著新時代之來臨而成為歷史，如果經濟轉型成功（非成功不行），則一般人所多賺的錢當中，將有很大的一部份要拿來支付水漲船高的勞務與產品價格。
