我们似乎已经生活在一个没有国界限制的世界里，思想、物资和人都可以自由的在国与国之间通行。Pankaj Ghemawat将向我们指出，我们并没有那么全球化。通过大量的数据（和让人大开眼界的调查）， 他认为我们的感知和现实间存在巨大差距，世界可能并没有想象中那么高度全球化。

00:16
I'm here to talk to you about how globalized we are,
0
468
4531
我今天来到这里，是想谈论全球化的程度有多深，
00:20
how globalized we aren't,
1
4999
2508
或者全球化有多么遥远，
00:23
and why it's important to actually be accurate
2
7507
3544
以及，为什么全球化程度的精确评估
00:26
in making those kinds of assessments.
3
11051
2781
是如此的重要。
00:29
And the leading point of view on this, whether measured
4
13832
3740
现今对全球化主流的看法，不论源于
00:33
by number of books sold, mentions in media,
5
17572
4191
对书籍销售量，媒体提及次数的统计，
00:37
or surveys that I've run with groups ranging from
6
21763
3216
或者来自我调查，调查对象包括下至我的学生
00:40
my students to delegates to the World Trade Organization,
7
24979
4077
上至世界贸易组织代表，
00:44
is this view that national borders
8
29056
3114
持这种观点的人认为国界的限制
00:48
really don't matter very much anymore,
9
32170
3553
已经不再是那么显著了，
00:51
cross-border integration is close to complete,
10
35723
4056
跨国界的完全融合已指日可待，
00:55
and we live in one world.
11
39779
2295
所有人都会生活在地球村里。
00:57
And what's interesting about this view
12
42074
2232
尤为有趣的是，
01:00
is, again, it's a view that's held by pro-globalizers
13
44306
3594
“全球化已经趋于完成”这一观点不仅被支持全球化的人认同
01:03
like Tom Friedman, from whose book this quote is obviously excerpted,
14
47900
4774
比如托马斯·弗里德曼，他的书就引述此观点（《世界是平的》）
01:08
but it's also held by anti-globalizers, who see this giant
15
52674
3926
同时也同样得到了反对全球化的人的认同，他们普遍认为
01:12
globalization tsunami that's about to wreck all our lives
16
56600
4891
全球化将如洪水猛兽般冲毁我们的生活
01:17
if it hasn't already done so.
17
61491
2884
即便目前还没达到，但终将来临。
01:20
The other thing I would add is that this is not a new view.
18
64375
4024
此外，我得说“全球化已经快要完成”这不是最近的观点。
01:24
I'm a little bit of an amateur historian, so I've spent
19
68399
3711
我或多或少是个业余历史学家，所以花了些时间
01:28
some time going back, trying to see the first mention
20
72110
3981
去追溯前人对全球化程度的评估，看看是谁首次
01:31
of this kind of thing. And the best, earliest quote
21
76091
3719
提出这种论调。我所找到最早的完整表述
01:35
that I could find was one from David Livingstone,
22
79810
3844
是来自于大卫·利文斯顿(David Livingstone)，
01:39
writing in the 1850s about how the railroad, the steam ship,
23
83654
6045
写于1850年，谈论铁路、蒸汽船、
01:45
and the telegraph were integrating East Africa perfectly
24
89699
4467
以及电报机，正完美地将东非
01:50
with the rest of the world.
25
94166
3371
以及世界其它地方融合在一起。
01:53
Now clearly, David Livingstone
26
97537
2180
现在看来，大卫·利文斯顿
01:55
was a little bit ahead of his time,
27
99717
3020
显然是略领先于他所处的时代，
01:58
but it does seem useful to ask ourselves,
28
102737
3543
但是，我们似乎应该首先问自己
02:02
"Just how global are we?"
29
106280
2096
“我们究竟有多么全球化？”
02:04
before we think about where we go from here.
30
108376
2703
然后再去思考在此基础上我们未来要走向何方。
02:06
So the best way I've found of trying to get people
31
111079
4538
所以我发现要说服大家，
02:11
to take seriously the idea that the world may not be flat,
32
115617
4649
看清世界并没有我们想象中那么全球化，
02:16
may not even be close to flat, is with some data.
33
120266
4015
甚至并没有接近全球化，我们就得用数据说话。
02:20
So one of the things I've been doing over the last few years
34
124281
3379
我在过去几年所做的
02:23
is really compiling data on things that could either happen
35
127660
3967
实际上是收集那些相关数据，
02:27
within national borders or across national borders,
36
131627
4155
既有国内的也有国际的，
02:31
and I've looked at the cross-border component
37
135782
3503
再计算那些跨越国界的部分
02:35
as a percentage of the total.
38
139285
2413
占总量的百分比。
02:37
I'm not going to present all the data that I have here today,
39
141698
3965
我并没有打算在今天展示所有的数据，
02:41
but let me just give you a few data points.
40
145663
3606
只是向大家分享一些数据的，
02:45
I'm going to talk a little bit about one kind of information flow,
41
149269
4334
我将要谈论一些信息流，
02:49
one kind of flow of people, one kind of flow of capital,
42
153603
4868
人口的流动，资本的流通，
02:54
and, of course, trade in products and services.
43
158471
3481
当然，还包括产品与服务的贸易往来。
02:57
So let's start off with plain old telephone service.
44
161952
4579
好，那么让我们以普通老式电话业务作为开始。
03:02
Of all the voice-calling minutes in the world last year,
45
166531
5093
去年全球的语音通话时间中，
03:07
what percentage do you think were accounted for
46
171624
4648
你们认为有百分之多少
03:12
by cross-border phone calls?
47
176272
2325
会是来自跨国电话？
03:14
Pick a percentage in your own mind.
48
178597
4076
你们可以心中默想一个数据。
03:18
The answer turns out to be two percent.
49
182673
3095
真实的数据是2%。
03:21
If you include Internet telephony, you might be able
50
185768
4138
如果再将互联网电话业务包含其中，这个数值
03:25
to push this number up to six or seven percent,
51
189906
3427
可能被推高到6%或7%，
03:29
but it's nowhere near what people tend to estimate.
52
193333
4657
但这显然远低于我们心中的预估值。
03:33
Or let's turn to people moving across borders.
53
197990
3745
好，我们再来看看跨国的人口流动。
03:37
One particular thing we might look at, in terms of
54
201735
3217
我们要特别关注的是，
03:40
long-term flows of people, is what percentage
55
204952
3727
考虑长期的人口流动，
03:44
of the world's population is accounted for
56
208679
3512
在全球所有人口中
03:48
by first-generation immigrants?
57
212191
3008
第一代移民占了多少百分比呢？
03:51
Again, please pick a percentage.
58
215199
4295
一样，请大家心中默想一个数据。
03:55
Turns out to be a little bit higher.
59
219494
2425
结果比上一个答案要略高一点，
03:57
It's actually about three percent.
60
221919
3067
是大约3%。
04:00
Or think of investment. Take all the real investment
61
224986
4871
我们再来看看投资。将所有2010年开始并持续的
04:05
that went on in the world in 2010.
62
229857
3168
产权投资计算在内。
04:08
What percentage of that was accounted for
63
233025
2856
究竟有多少百分比，
04:11
by foreign direct investment?
64
235881
3937
是由外商直接投资的呢？
04:15
Not quite ten percent.
65
239818
3367
不足10%。
04:19
And then finally, the one statistic
66
243185
2639
最后，是一个统计指标
04:21
that I suspect many of the people in this room have seen:
67
245824
3177
相信在座的各位已经耳熟能详：
04:24
the export-to-GDP ratio.
68
249001
2728
“出口占国内生产总值的比例”
04:27
If you look at the official statistics, they typically indicate
69
251729
3769
如果你去看看官方的统计，他们通常给出
04:31
a little bit above 30 percent.
70
255498
2559
超过30%的结果。
04:33
However, there's a big problem with the official statistics,
71
258057
5089
然而，在官方统计中存在巨大的漏洞，
04:39
in that if, for instance, a Japanese component supplier
72
263146
4931
举例来说，如果一个日本电子元件供应商
04:43
ships something to China to be put into an iPod,
73
268077
3612
将产品运到中国加工成一个iPod，
04:47
and then the iPod gets shipped to the U.S.,
74
271689
2801
再运输到美国，
04:50
that component ends up getting counted multiple times.
75
274490
3837
那么这个元件将被重复统计。
04:54
So nobody knows how bad this bias
76
278327
2769
所以没有人能够知道官方统计与实际情况
04:56
with the official statistics actually is, so I thought I would
77
281096
3787
之间的误差究竟有多大，所以我认为
05:00
ask the person who's spearheading the effort
78
284883
2584
我应该咨询那些率先生成这方面数据的专家
05:03
to generate data on this, Pascal Lamy,
79
287467
3265
帕斯卡尔·拉米
05:06
the Director of the World Trade Organization,
80
290732
2512
世界贸易组织的总干事
05:09
what his best guess would be
81
293244
2327
他认为最佳的估计
05:11
of exports as a percentage of GDP,
82
295571
3175
“出口占国内生产总值的比例”，
05:14
without the double- and triple-counting,
83
298746
2423
在去除双重或三重计算后，
05:17
and it's actually probably a bit under 20 percent, rather than
84
301169
4534
实际上可能略低于20%，而不是
05:21
the 30 percent-plus numbers that we're talking about.
85
305703
3769
我们日常谈论的超过30%。
05:25
So it's very clear that if you look at these numbers
86
309472
4183
所以很明显，当你看到这些数据
05:29
or all the other numbers that I talk about in my book,
87
313655
3568
或者通过我写的书，
05:33
"World 3.0," that we're very, very far from
88
317223
4387
《World 3.0》，我们远远未能达到
05:37
the no-border effect benchmark, which would imply
89
321610
4054
那些由无国界效应标准所意味的
05:41
internationalization levels of the order of 85, 90, 95 percent.
90
325664
6903
85%、90%甚至95%量级的国际化水平。
05:48
So clearly, apocalyptically-minded authors
91
332567
3608
这样就很清楚了，那些怀着末日心态的作家
05:52
have overstated the case.
92
336175
2960
实际上是夸大其辞了。
05:55
But it's not just the apocalyptics, as I think of them,
93
339135
4192
然而，并非仅仅是那些带有末日心态的人
05:59
who are prone to this kind of overstatement.
94
343327
3225
才有这种夸大叙述的倾向。
06:02
I've also spent some time surveying audiences
95
346552
3397
我也花时间去做过问卷调查
06:05
in different parts of the world
96
349949
1998
在世界各地进行取样
06:07
on what they actually guess these numbers to be.
97
351947
4060
让他们猜测这些数据可能会有多少。
06:11
Let me share with you the results of a survey
98
356007
3069
让我在这与大家分享调查的结果。
06:14
that Harvard Business Review was kind enough to run
99
359076
3339
利用期刊《哈佛商业评论》的
06:18
of its readership as to what people's guesses
100
362415
3520
读者群做为样本，
06:21
along these dimensions actually were.
101
365935
4415
进行这些方面数据的读者猜测。
06:26
So a couple of observations stand out for me from this slide.
102
370350
5935
结果如图。（白色为真值，蓝色为猜测）
06:32
First of all, there is a suggestion of some error.
103
376285
4915
首先，两者之间似乎有那么一丁点儿差距。
06:37
Okay. (Laughter)
104
381200
2803
好吧。（笑声）
06:39
Second, these are pretty large errors. For four quantities
105
384003
5473
其次，大家对这四个指标的猜测都错得很离谱。
06:45
whose average value is less than 10 percent,
106
389476
2979
真实值的平均数量在10%以下，
06:48
you have people guessing three, four times that level.
107
392455
4102
但有很多人猜想值高于实际值三倍甚至四倍。
06:52
Even though I'm an economist, I find that
108
396557
3088
即使我是一个经济学家，我也能看出
06:55
a pretty large error.
109
399645
2404
这是一个相当大的误差。
06:57
And third, this is not just confined to the readers
110
402049
3862
第三点，不仅仅局限于
07:01
of the Harvard Business Review.
111
405911
1960
《哈佛商业评论》的读者群。
07:03
I've run several dozen such surveys in different parts
112
407871
3398
我也在世界其他的地方进行多次
07:07
of the world, and in all cases except one,
113
411269
3350
类似的调查，只有一项指标
07:10
where a group actually underestimated
114
414619
2872
会出现群体性低估，那就是
07:13
the trade-to-GDP ratio, people have this tendency
115
417491
4312
“贸易占国内生产总值的比例”，而剩下指标
07:17
towards overestimation, and so I thought it important
116
421803
3159
人们倾向于过高估计，所以我认为很有必要
07:20
to give a name to this, and that's what I refer to
117
424962
3305
给这种群体性特征进行命名，
07:24
as globaloney, the difference between the dark blue bars
118
428267
4577
称它为“全球胡话”，参考这深蓝色
07:28
and the light gray bars.
119
432844
3007
与浅灰色之间的差距。
07:31
Especially because, I suspect, some of you may still be
120
435851
4136
我想，你们中可能仍然有一些人
07:35
a little bit skeptical of the claims, I think it's important
121
439987
4192
对我的说法持怀疑态度，我认为这非常重要
07:40
to just spend a little bit of time thinking about
122
444179
3264
去花一点点时间来思考
07:43
why we might be prone to globaloney.
123
447443
3759
为什么我们会倾向于迷信这种“全球胡话”。
07:47
A couple of different reasons come to mind.
124
451202
2843
一系列理由从我的脑海中浮现，
07:49
First of all, there's a real dearth of data in the debate.
125
454045
4302
首先，是在这一议题上，相关数据的严重匮乏。
07:54
Let me give you an example. When I first published
126
458347
3181
我来给大家一个例子。当我在几年前
07:57
some of these data a few years ago
127
461528
2596
在一个叫《外交政策》的杂志上
08:00
in a magazine called Foreign Policy,
128
464124
2537
第一次公布这些数据时，
08:02
one of the people who wrote in, not entirely in agreement,
129
466661
3570
有一位人物来信，对此持不同意见，
08:06
was Tom Friedman. And since my article was titled
130
470231
3955
他就是托马斯·弗里德曼。他的反对是必然的，
08:10
"Why the World Isn't Flat," that wasn't too surprising. (Laughter)
131
474186
4910
因为文章标题是《为何世界不是“平”的》。（笑声）
08:14
What was very surprising to me was Tom's critique,
132
479096
4281
让我非常惊讶的是汤姆的批评内容，
08:19
which was, "Ghemawat's data are narrow."
133
483377
4938
他说，“沃特使用的数据面太窄。”
08:24
And this caused me to scratch my head, because
134
488315
3019
这使我疑惑不解，因为
08:27
as I went back through his several-hundred-page book,
135
491334
3137
我翻了他数百页的书，
08:30
I couldn't find a single figure, chart, table,
136
494471
4633
竟然找不到一张图表，
08:35
reference or footnote.
137
499104
2728
连脚注和参考文献都没有。
08:37
So my point is, I haven't presented a lot of data here
138
501832
4607
所以我的观点是，我引用的数据
08:42
to convince you that I'm right, but I would urge you
139
506439
3392
可能还不足以让你信服，但是我需要提醒你
08:45
to go away and look for your own data
140
509831
2985
回去找找你自己的数据
08:48
to try and actually assess whether some of these
141
512816
3488
试着用精确的评估方式来看看
08:52
hand-me-down insights that we've been bombarded with
142
516304
4361
这些我们一直被灌输的观点
08:56
actually are correct.
143
520665
1912
是否真的正确。
08:58
So dearth of data in the debate is one reason.
144
522577
3532
好了，相关数据的匮乏是第一个原因。
09:02
A second reason has to do with peer pressure.
145
526109
3915
第二个原因是来自于同行的压力。
09:05
I remember, I decided to write my
146
530024
3181
我记得，当我决定去写
09:09
"Why the World Isn't Flat" article, because
147
533205
2625
《为何世界不是“平”的》，是因为
09:11
I was being interviewed on TV in Mumbai,
148
535830
3189
我在孟买电视台接受采访，
09:14
and the interviewer's first question to me was,
149
539019
3675
主持人问我的第一个问题就是，
09:18
"Professor Ghemawat, why do you still believe
150
542694
3951
“沃特教授，为什么你坚持相信，
09:22
that the world is round?" And I started laughing,
151
546645
4180
这个世界是圆的呢？”我忍不住笑了，
09:26
because I hadn't come across that formulation before. (Laughter)
152
550825
3773
因为我以前还没有想过这种说法。（笑声）
09:30
And as I was laughing, I was thinking,
153
554598
2339
我在笑的同时，也陷入了沉思，
09:32
I really need a more coherent response, especially
154
556937
2887
面对这个问题我确实需要更多的回应，特别是
09:35
on national TV. I'd better write something about this. (Laughter)
155
559824
4110
全国播放的电视媒体上。我最好为此写些回应文章。（笑声）
09:39
But what I can't quite capture for you
156
563934
2969
但我无法让你们了解的
09:42
was the pity and disbelief
157
566903
2600
就是主持人提问时那怜悯和怀疑的态度。
09:45
with which the interviewer asked her question.
158
569503
3478
就是主持人提问时那怜悯和怀疑的态度。
09:48
The perspective was, here is this poor professor.
159
572981
4340
好像在说，这儿站着一个可怜的教授。
09:53
He's clearly been in a cave for the last 20,000 years.
160
577321
4686
他已经在山顶洞里住了两万年，
09:57
He really has no idea
161
582007
2648
他根本就不知道
10:00
as to what's actually going on in the world.
162
584655
2958
当今世界正在发生着什么。
10:03
So try this out with your friends and acquaintances,
163
587613
3473
如果你们愿意，也可以尝试和亲朋好友做这样的交流，
10:06
if you like. You'll find that it's very cool
164
591086
3441
你会发现当谈论的话题
10:10
to talk about the world being one, etc.
165
594527
3288
是世界一家时，那将会很酷。
10:13
If you raise questions about that formulation,
166
597815
3303
然而对这种说法提出质疑时，
10:17
you really are considered a bit of an antique.
167
601118
3897
你就会被视为老古董。
10:20
And then the final reason, which I mention,
168
605015
3454
接下来，我要提一下最后的原因，
10:24
especially to a TED audience, with some trepidation,
169
608469
3713
尤其是面对TED的观众，我诚惶诚恐，
10:28
has to do with what I call "techno-trances."
170
612182
3345
来介绍所谓的“电音入迷”
10:31
If you listen to techno music for long periods of time,
171
615527
3527
就是你长时间聆听动感强烈的电子音乐，
10:34
it does things to your brainwave activity. (Laughter)
172
619054
3352
它就会干扰你的脑波活动。（笑声）
10:38
Something similar seems to happen
173
622406
3458
那些与此现象类似的
10:41
with exaggerated conceptions of how technology
174
625864
5310
以夸张的概念来描述科技是如何
10:47
is going to overpower in the very immediate run
175
631174
4169
在短时间内以势不可挡之势
10:51
all cultural barriers, all political barriers,
176
635343
3333
冲破一切文化藩篱、政治界限、
10:54
all geographic barriers, because at this point
177
638676
3593
以及地理天堑，对于“电音入迷”这一提法
10:58
I know you aren't allowed to ask me questions,
178
642269
2584
我知道现场不允许你们向我提问，
11:00
but when I get to this point in my lecture with my students,
179
644853
2973
但是我准备了一些来自课堂上学生的提问
11:03
hands go up, and people ask me,
180
647826
2764
他们举起手来，然后质问我，
11:06
"Yeah, but what about Facebook?"
181
650590
3479
“好吧，那你是怎么看脸书 (Facebook)？”
11:09
And I got this question often enough that I thought
182
654069
2613
对于这个问题，我已经胸有成竹
11:12
I'd better do some research on Facebook.
183
656682
2748
我也对Facebook做了不少研究。
11:15
Because, in some sense, it's the ideal kind of technology
184
659430
3720
因为，从某种角度说，它是一种需要研究的理想科技
11:19
to think about. Theoretically, it makes it
185
663150
3669
理论上说，它使得
11:22
as easy to form friendships halfway around the world
186
666819
3378
跨地球两端交朋友
11:26
as opposed to right next door.
187
670197
3002
变得仿佛就住在隔壁一样。
11:29
What percentage of people's friends on Facebook
188
673199
6086
那么，究竟有多少百分比，在Facebook上的朋友
11:35
are actually located in countries other than where
189
679285
3120
是来自于另一个国家的呢？
11:38
people we're analyzing are based?
190
682405
3273
这些人在我分析了人群中占比多少呢？
11:41
The answer is probably somewhere between
191
685678
3350
这个答案大概是在
11:44
10 to 15 percent.
192
689028
2873
10%到15%之间。
11:47
Non-negligible, so we don't live in an entirely local
193
691901
3811
不可否认，我们已经不再是生活于完全本地本国的
11:51
or national world, but very, very far from the 95 percent level
194
695712
5007
孤立的世界中，但是，仍然离全球化程度达到95%
11:56
that you would expect, and the reason's very simple.
195
700719
3406
的期望值很遥远，而这一现象的原因很简单。
12:00
We don't, or I hope we don't, form friendships at random
196
704125
3992
因为我们不会，至少我希望我们不会， 在Facebook上
12:04
on Facebook. The technology is overlaid
197
708117
4822
随便乱交朋友。科技虽然覆盖了
12:08
on a pre-existing matrix of relationships that we have,
198
712939
4735
我们早就形成的人际关系，
12:13
and those relationships are what the technology
199
717674
3068
但这些人际关系恰恰是科技
12:16
doesn't quite displace. Those relationships are why
200
720742
3231
所无法替代的。正是这些既有的人际关系
12:19
we get far fewer than 95 percent of our friends
201
723973
4044
我们才没有高达95%的朋友
12:23
being located in countries other than where we are.
202
728017
3808
是来自异邦。
12:27
So does all this matter? Or is globaloney
203
731825
5481
我的这一发现是否重要？或者“全球胡话”
12:33
just a harmless way of getting people to pay more attention
204
737306
5412
只是用一种无害的方式，来让我们更多的去关注
12:38
to globalization-related issues?
205
742718
2712
全球化相关的议题？
12:41
I want to suggest that actually,
206
745430
2207
我不得不确切的指出，
12:43
globaloney can be very harmful to your health.
207
747637
4570
“全球胡话”的观点是非常有害的。
12:48
First of all, recognizing that the glass
208
752207
3152
首先，就好比有一个玻璃杯
12:51
is only 10 to 20 percent full is critical to seeing
209
755359
4456
它只被装填了十分之一左右
12:55
that there might be potential for additional gains
210
759815
3384
那么它就可能有潜力额外装得更多的东西。
12:59
from additional integration,
211
763199
2031
那么它就可能有潜力额外装得更多的东西。
13:01
whereas if we thought we were already there,
212
765230
2844
然而如果我们认为它已经被盛满，
13:03
there would be no particular point to pushing harder.
213
768074
3424
我们就没有理由去做更多的努力。
13:07
It's a little bit like, we wouldn't be having a conference
214
771498
3212
就像如果我们真的认为
13:10
on radical openness if we already thought we were totally open
215
774710
4181
我们已经很开放了
13:14
to all the kinds of influences that are being talked about
216
778891
3332
我们就不会有任何会议
13:18
at this conference.
217
782223
1415
来探讨积极开放的话题。
13:19
So being accurate about how limited globalization levels are
218
783638
4790
所以正确看待全球化程度的有限性
13:24
is critical to even being able to notice
219
788428
3059
可以让我们更深刻的认识到
13:27
that there might be room for something more,
220
791487
3679
仍然有大量进步的空间，
13:31
something that would contribute further to global welfare.
221
795166
3968
可以对全球福址有进一步的贡献。
13:35
Which brings me to my second point.
222
799134
2832
这就牵连到我的第二个观点。
13:37
Avoiding overstatement is also very helpful
223
801966
4223
避免过高评价全球化是有好处的
13:42
because it reduces and in some cases even reverses
224
806189
4795
因为它降低了，甚至扭转了那些
13:46
some of the fears that people have about globalization.
225
810984
4805
反对全球化的人心中怀有的恐惧。
13:51
So I actually spend most of my "World 3.0" book
226
815789
3385
所以我在《World 3.0》中花了大量篇幅
13:55
working through a litany of market failures and fears
227
819174
4544
来处理一连串的市场失效和担忧
13:59
that people have that they worry globalization is going to exacerbate.
228
823718
5140
人们非常担心全球化可能对市场带来的恶化。
14:04
I'm obviously not going to be able to do that for you today,
229
828858
3668
我显然已经无法在今天向大家展示这些，
14:08
so let me just present to you two headlines
230
832526
3268
所以就让我以两个标题
14:11
as an illustration of what I have in mind.
231
835794
3281
来陈述我的论点。
14:14
Think of France and the current debate about immigration.
232
839075
4316
想想目前法国针对移民的议题。
14:19
When you ask people in France what percentage
233
843391
3232
当你询问在法国人口中
14:22
of the French population is immigrants,
234
846623
2213
到底有多少百分比是移民，
14:24
the answer is about 24 percent. That's their guess.
235
848836
4500
将得到他们猜测的数字，大概是24%。
14:29
Maybe realizing that the number is just eight percent
236
853336
4630
如果意识到实际量只有8%
14:33
might help cool some of the superheated rhetoric
237
857966
4414
那可能会让那些充斥在移民议题中的
14:38
that we see around the immigration issue.
238
862380
3338
过激言论冷却。
14:41
Or to take an even more striking example,
239
865718
4144
或者，再举一个突出的例子，
14:45
when the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations
240
869862
2177
当芝加哥对外关系委员会
14:47
did a survey of Americans, asking them to guess
241
872039
3347
作了一份调查，让美国人猜猜
14:51
what percentage of the federal budget went to foreign aid,
242
875386
4227
联邦的预算中占有多少比例是用在国际援助上，
14:55
the guess was 30 percent, which is
243
879613
3681
猜测的普遍值是30%，这确实略微超过了实际水平——
14:59
slightly in excess of the actual level — ("actually about ... 1%") (Laughter) —
244
883294
5360
（真实值只有1%）。（笑声）
15:04
of U.S. governmental commitments to federal aid.
245
888654
3374
略微超过美国政府承诺的联邦政府补贴。
15:07
The reassuring thing about this particular survey was,
246
892028
3407
这一调查让我们可以宽心，
15:11
when it was pointed out to people how far
247
895435
2681
当我们向民众指出
15:14
their estimates were from the actual data,
248
898116
3209
估算值和实际数据相距甚远时，
15:17
some of them — not all of them — seemed to become
249
901325
3095
我相信会有一些人，会变得
15:20
more willing to consider increases in foreign aid.
250
904420
3987
更加愿意去增加对外援助。
15:24
So foreign aid is actually a great way
251
908407
3124
国际援助事实上很适合
15:27
of sort of wrapping up here, because
252
911531
3194
用来做今天的收尾，因为
15:30
if you think about it, what I've been talking about today
253
914725
3088
如果你回想一下，今天我一直在谈的
15:33
is this notion -- very uncontroversial amongst economists --
254
917813
4089
这个经济学家都同意的概念：
15:37
that most things are very home-biased.
255
921902
2982
许多事情都是存在着本土偏重。
15:40
"Foreign aid is the most aid to poor people,"
256
924884
3225
“国际援助是对穷人的最大帮助”
15:44
is about the most home-biased thing you can find.
257
928109
3723
就是你能想到最本土偏重的事情。
15:47
If you look at the OECD countries and how much
258
931832
3038
观察一下那些经济合作组织的成员国
15:50
they spend per domestic poor person,
259
934870
3142
将他们花在一个本国穷人身上的经费，
15:53
and compare it with how much they spend
260
938012
2252
比上他们花费在
15:56
per poor person in poor countries,
261
940264
4172
那些穷困国家的穷人身上的金额的比值，
16:00
the ratio — Branko Milanovic at the World Bank did the calculations —
262
944436
4272
这一比率——世界银行的米兰诺维奇作了计算
16:04
turns out to be about 30,000 to one.
263
948708
4676
是大约30000：1。
16:09
Now of course, some of us, if we truly are cosmopolitan,
264
953384
6196
现在当然，如果我们真是四海一家，
16:15
would like to see that ratio being brought down
265
959580
3169
我们希望看到那个比例会降到
16:18
to one-is-to-one.
266
962749
2232
1：1。
16:20
I'd like to make the suggestion that we don't need to aim
267
964981
3391
我的建议是，并不需要朝着这个目标前进，
16:24
for that to make substantial progress from where we are.
268
968372
4161
只需从目前所处的状态出发，去取得实质性进展。
16:28
If we simply brought that ratio down to 15,000 to one,
269
972533
5067
我们只要将比率改善成15000：1，
16:33
we would be meeting those aid targets that were agreed
270
977600
3370
就可以实现那些在20年前
16:36
at the Rio Summit 20 years ago that the summit
271
980970
3517
里约峰会上所制定的援助目标
16:40
that ended last week made no further progress on.
272
984487
3862
这一目标即便在上周的高峰会议中，仍无进展。
16:44
So in summary, while radical openness is great,
273
988349
3805
所以总而言之，激进的开放主义是非常好的，
16:48
given how closed we are,
274
992154
2013
它能让我们更加靠近彼此，
16:50
even incremental openness could make things
275
994167
2974
甚至渐进式的增加开放也会使事情得到
16:53
dramatically better. Thank you very much. (Applause)
276
997141
3631
显著的改善。谢谢大家！（掌声）
16:56
(Applause)

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Pankaj Ghemawat - Globalization researcherOur world is not flat, says ecnomist Pankaj Ghemawat -- it's at best semi-globalized, with limited interactions between countries and economies.
Why you should listen
There seem to be two leading views of globalization: either that it is done and the world is flat (a view popularized by Tom Friedman) or that it has led to a world dominated by corporations (Naomi Klein). Pankaj Ghemawat disagrees with both -- and his case, backed by data, can be convincing. His most recent book, World 3.0, based on extensive research and backed up with abundant data, explores the true face of globalization--and shows that the world is not one vast market, but many small, interconnected, discrete entities, with varying degrees of openness to one another. That even the most open economies are still relatively closed. That we live in a world of semi-globalization at best. Ghemawat also refutes the assumption that globalization leads to homogeneization. According to The Economist, World 3.0 “should be read by anyone who wants to understand the most important economic development of our time.”
Ghemawat is a professor of strategic management at IESE Business School in Spain. In his latest work, he explores another kind of networked economy--the cross-border "geography" of Facebook and Twitter followers.
