摘要
引言。美国既是世界第一大经济体,也是贫富分化最为严重的西方国家,长期走不出富者愈富、贫者愈贫的困局。新冠疫情暴发以来,美国采取大规模财政金融刺激措施,不仅没有从根本上帮助穷者纤困,反而助力亿万富翁借机扩大财富,贫富差距更为悬殊。本报告旨在通过列举事实和数据,揭示美国贫富分化的现状、问题积重难返的政治和社会原因以及造成的影响。
Introduction Being the largest economy in the world,the United States is also the most economically polarized among Western countries.It has long been stuck in the conundrum where the rich get richer and the poor become poorer.Since the onset of COVID-19,the United States has adopted massive fiscal and financial stimulus measures.However,these measures fail to address the fundamental difficulties facing the have-nots,but rather offer billionaires a chance to expand their wealth.Economic inequality has become even more prominent.
