贫困与贫困的累积机制

Poverty and its Accumulation Mechanism

对市场经济制度的选择内生着效率与公平两难抉择的问题,不公平是现代贫困的主要原因。贫困是经济性权利和非经济性权利相对缺乏的体现。贫困者和富有者的无限期界重复动态博弈是一个持久的不平等的权利交易的过程,而每一次博弈的结果都促使贫困得到累积,形成贫困的“马太效应”,两者的差距呈现递增的趋势,但它也受贫困的外部性、对不平等的忍耐程度、经济的短期波动和长期增长等约束条件的限制。

The dilemma between efficiency and equity inheres in choosing the market economy system, and inequality is the main reason of modern poverty. Poverty is the reflection of the relative lack of economic rights and non-economic rights. The infinitely repeated dynamic game between the rich and poor is a sustained and unequal transaction process of rights. The result of every game accumulates poverty, forming the ＂Mathew effect＂ of poverty, with increasing gap between the rich and poor. But it is also limited by such constraining conditions as the externality of poverty, tolerance of inequality, and the short-term fluctuation and long-term growth of the economy.
