主要英语国家经济与非英语国家经济的比较分析

A Comparative Study of the Economies of the Major English and Non-English VCountries

20世纪90年代以来,发达国家当中,美国、英国、加拿大和澳大利亚等主要英语国家经济增长普遍快于日本、德国、法国和意大利等主要非英语国家。无论从经济增长速度、人均GDP增长,还是失业率,或者劳动生产率来看,都是主要英语国家好于主要非英语国家。造成这种差距出现的原因是:主要非英语国家由于宏观经济政策出现了一些失误,错失了20世纪90年代新经济发展的机遇,产业没有及时转型以及一些有强大势力的"利益集团"的消极影响,因而其经济增长速度放缓;而主要英语国家由于积极推进经济改革,及时调整产业结构,注重技术创新和提高劳动生产率,充分利用英语语言工具在全球中的优势,因而加快了本国经济的发展。主要英语国家经济与非英语国家经济的增长差别,给其他国家发展本国经济提供了许多有益的启示。

Since the 1990＇ sa, the major English countries（ such as U.S. Britain, Canada, Australia） in the developed world have outdone the non-English countries （ such as Japan, Germany, France and Italy） in terms of economic growth rate, per capita GDP growth, unemployment rate, and labor production efficiency. The main reason that can account for such disparity are as follows： The non-English countries, due to some error in the macro economic policy have missed the opportunity to develop their new economy, failed to transform their industry in time as a result of the influence of the powerful interest groups, thus resulting in slow economic growth. The English countries, on the other hand, actively implemented the economic reform and adjust the industrial structure in time and attached great importance to technological innovation and improving labor efficiency while maximizing the advantage of English as a global language, and consequently succeeded in accelerating the economic development. The gap in the economic growth rate between them can serve as an enlightenment to the other countries.
