When Americans express indifference about the problem of unequal incomes, it’s usually because they see the United States as a land of boundless opportunity. Sure, you’ll hear it said, our country has pretty big income disparities compared with Western Europe. And sure, those disparities have been widening in recent decades. But stark economic inequality is the price we pay for living in a dynamic economy with avenues to advancement that the class-bound Old World can only dream about. We may have less equality of economic outcomes, but we have a lot more equality of economic opportunity.
The problem is, this isn’ t true. Most of Western Europe today is both more equal in incomes and more economically mobile than the United States. A nation that prides itself on its lack of class rigidity has, in short, become significantly more economically rigid than many other developed countries. How did our perception of ourselves end up so inconsistent with reality?
选项
答案
对于收入不公的问题,美国人不以为意,态度冷淡,这通常是因为,他们认为美国是充满机会的天堂。人们常说,确实,与西欧相比,我国收入差异化的情况很严重。并且,近几十年来,收入差异持续扩大。但我们用严重的经济收入不均换来的是经济的繁荣、通往成功道路的通达,这些都是阶级分明的欧洲国家梦寐以求的。也许,我们国家在经济收入上公平度欠缺,但是,在经济机遇上公平度较高。 问题在于,事实并非如此。如今,与美国相比,大多数西欧国家不仅收入公平度更高,人们的经济地位的流动性也更强。总之,一个一直以没有太多阶级限制为傲的国家在经济地位的流动性方面已经变得比许多发达国家更加僵化了。为何我们对于自身的看法竟与现实如此不符?
