????皮凱蒂的觀點很對，財富不斷地滾雪球會帶來深遠的問題。無論是從宏觀上看，還是從家庭精打細算過日子、努力往前奔，都是這樣。取消我們那些加劇貧富差距、具有缺陷的公共政策，代之以能夠促使新的財富生成的新體系，這將會讓更多美國人分享到經濟成功帶來的巨大驅動力。（財富中文網）

????As Piketty rightly observes, the continued consolidation of wealth is deeply problematic. This is true on a macro scale as well as in the day-to-day lives of families trying to make ends meet and get a few steps ahead. Replacing our flawed public policies that exacerbate this problem with a system that facilitates the creation of new wealth would go a long way toward allowing more Americans to share in such a powerful driver of economic success.
