法国经济学家托马斯·皮凯迪于2014年发表新书,书中他用简单、使人不快但不可否认的公式解释了经济的不平等:r > g(意思是资本回报率(r)通常高于经济增长率(g))。在这里,他通过分析大规模数据集得出结论:经济不平等并不新鲜,并且它正在恶化,可能造成激进的影响。

It's very nice不错 to be here tonight今晚.

今晚很高兴在这里和大家一起讨论
00:14
So I've been working加工 on the history历史 of income收入
1
2880
3716
过去15年来,我一直致力于研究
00:18
and wealth财富 distribution分配 for the past过去 15 years年份,
2
6596
3319
收入和财富分配的历史,
00:21
and one of the interesting有趣 lessons教训
3
9915
3101
从所看到的史料中
00:25
coming未来 from this historical历史的 evidence证据
4
13016
2501
我分析得出的一个有意思的现象是
00:27
is indeed确实 that, in the long run,
5
15517
2013
从长远来看
00:29
there is a tendency趋势 for
the rate of return返回 of capital首都
6
17530
3720
趋势是
资本的收益率超过经济增长率,
00:33
to exceed超过 the economy's经济的 growth发展 rate,
7
21250
2670
00:35
and this tends趋向 to lead to
high concentration浓度 of wealth财富.
8
23920
2745
这将会导致财富的高度集中。
00:38
Not infinite无穷 concentration浓度 of wealth财富,
9
26665
1833
但并不是财富的无限集中,
00:40
but the higher更高 the gap间隙 between之间 r and g,
10
28498
2791
而是r(资本收益率)和g(经济增长率)之间
比例的极不均衡,
00:43
the higher更高 the level水平 of inequality不等式 of wealth财富
11
31289
2935
以及财富分配的极不平等
00:46
towards which哪一个 society社会 tends趋向 to converge汇集.
12
34224
3207
这似乎是社会的发展走向。
00:49
So this is a key force that
I'm going to talk about today今天,
13
37431
3554
这是我今天将要谈的关键内容
00:52
but let me say right away
14
40985
1969
但是我得明确一下
00:54
that this is not the only important重要 force
15
42954
2330
这不是唯一的
在收入和财富分配的变化中起到关键作用的因素
00:57
in the dynamics动力学 of income收入
and wealth财富 distribution分配,
16
45284
2473
00:59
and there are many许多 other forces军队 that play
17
47757
2025
另外还有很多因素
01:01
an important重要 role角色 in the long-run长跑 dynamics动力学
18
49782
2981
在不断发展变化的收入和
财富分配的过程中起到
01:04
of income收入 and wealth财富 distribution分配.
19
52763
1575
重要作用。
01:06
Also there is a lot of data数据
20
54338
1969
同时,还有
许多数据需要收集。
01:08
that still needs需求 to be collected.
21
56307
1556
01:09
We know a little bit more today今天
22
57863
2932
相比以前,现今我们对这个问题
01:12
than we used to know,
but we still know too little,
23
60795
2521
了解的更多了,但是我们还是知之甚少,
01:15
and certainly当然 there are
many许多 different不同 processes流程
24
63316
2676
另外,还应该在相关的不同领域,
01:17
economic经济, social社会, political政治
25
65992
2298
例如经济,社会,政治等
01:20
that need to be studied研究 more.
26
68290
1427
投入更多的研究。
01:21
And so I'm going to focus焦点 today今天 on this simple简单 force,
27
69717
2980
所以虽然今天我主要讨论的是关键因素
01:24
but that doesn't mean that other important重要 forces军队
28
72697
2261
但并不是说其他重要因素
01:26
do not exist存在.
29
74958
1204
不存在了
01:28
So most of the data数据 I'm going to present当下
30
76162
2272
今天我大部分数据都
01:30
comes from this database数据库
31
78434
2205
基于一个数据库
01:32
that's available可得到 online线上:
32
80639
1260
大家可以在网上找到:
01:33
the World世界 Top最佳 Incomes收入 Database数据库.
33
81899
1485
“世界顶级收入数据库“
01:35
So this is the largest最大 existing现有
34
83384
2103
这是现有最大的
01:37
historical历史的 database数据库 on inequality不等式,
35
85487
2453
表现收入不平均的数据库,
01:39
and this comes from the effort功夫
36
87940
1350
其的建成有赖于
01:41
of over 30 scholars学者 from several一些 dozen countries国家.
37
89290
3892
几十个国家的30个学者的努力。
01:45
So let me show显示 you a couple一对 of facts事实
38
93182
2778
下面我们来看一下几个基于
01:47
coming未来 from this database数据库,
39
95960
1145
数据库的事实,
01:49
and then we'll return返回 to r bigger than g.
40
97105
2074
然后我们再回到关于r > g的话题。
01:51
So fact事实 number one is that there has been
41
99179
2510
事实一:
过去的一个世纪中
01:53
a big reversal翻转 in the ordering排序 of income收入 inequality不等式
42
101689
3051
01:56
between之间 the United联合的 States状态 and Europe欧洲
43
104740
1905
在美国和欧洲
01:58
over the past过去 century世纪.
44
106645
1755
收入的不平等的排名有了逆转。
02:00
So back in 1900, 1910, income收入 inequality不等式 was actually其实
45
108400
3505
让我们回到1900-1910年间,
02:03
much higher更高 in Europe欧洲 than in the United联合的 States状态,
46
111905
2265
在这段时间里欧洲收入不平等远比美国严重,
02:06
whereas today今天, it is a lot higher更高 in the United联合的 States状态.
47
114170
3110
而今天美国却远比欧洲严重的多。
02:09
So let me be very clear明确:
48
117280
1666
所以我们可以清楚的得出结论:
02:10
The main主要 explanation说明 for this is not r bigger than g.
49
118946
2824
其中主要的原因不是 r 大于 g.
02:13
It has more to do with changing改变 supply供应 and demand需求
50
121770
3497
而是更多的跟技能的供给的改变有关,
02:17
for skill技能, the race种族 between之间 education教育 and technology技术,
51
125267
3453
在美国,教育和科技上的竞赛、
02:20
globalization全球化, probably大概 more unequal不等 access访问
52
128720
3580
全球化的因素,可能导致
更多的在技能获取方面的
02:24
to skills技能 in the U.S.,
53
132300
1606
不平等性,
02:25
where you have very good, very top最佳 universities高校
54
133906
2587
在美国有非常好的,顶尖的大学
02:28
but where the bottom底部 part部分 of the educational教育性 system系统
55
136493
2242
但是教育系统中的下层
02:30
is not as good,
56
138735
765
就不是那么好了,
02:31
so very unequal不等 access访问 to skills技能,
57
139500
2361
所以可以看到技能获取处于非常不平等的状态,
02:33
and also an unprecedented史无前例 rise上升
58
141861
1919
而且在美国管理层薪酬
02:35
of top最佳 managerial管理的 compensation赔偿金 of the United联合的 States状态,
59
143780
3020
空前高涨,
02:38
which哪一个 is difficult to account帐户 for
just on the basis基础 of education教育.
60
146800
2850
这个很难说是仅仅基于教育所造成的
02:41
So there is more going on here,
61
149650
1954
而是有多方面的因素
02:43
but I'm not going to talk too much about this today今天,
62
151604
2609
但是今天我不会过多地讨论这方面的问题,
02:46
because I want to focus焦点 on wealth财富 inequality不等式.
63
154213
2666
因为我想关注的是财富的不平等。
02:48
So let me just show显示 you a very simple简单 indicator指示符
64
156879
2981
所以我们就简单看看
02:51
about the income收入 inequality不等式 part部分.
65
159860
2350
不平等部分的指标。
02:54
So this is the share分享 of total income收入
66
162210
2454
这个指数是顶级收入
02:56
going to the top最佳 10 percent百分.
67
164664
1788
占10%的数字
02:58
So you can see that one century世纪 ago,
68
166452
2172
一个世纪之前
03:00
it was between之间 45 and 50 percent百分 in Europe欧洲
69
168624
3577
这个数字在欧洲是在45%到50%之间
03:04
and a little bit above以上 40 percent百分 in the U.S.,
70
172201
2738
在美国稍稍多于40%
03:06
so there was more inequality不等式 in Europe欧洲.
71
174939
2271
所以看来当时欧洲处于更不平等的状态
03:09
Then there was a sharp尖锐 decline下降
72
177210
2024
接下来这个数字的急剧的下降
03:11
during the first half of the 20th century世纪,
73
179234
2531
时间是在20世纪中期
03:13
and in the recent最近 decade, you can see that
74
181765
2363
在最近的十年,您可以看到
03:16
the U.S. has become成为 more unequal不等 than Europe欧洲,
75
184128
3502
跟欧洲相比,美国显得更不平等,
03:19
and this is the first fact事实 I just talked about.
76
187630
2670
这就是我刚才讲提到的第一个事实。
03:22
Now, the second第二 fact事实 is more about wealth财富 inequality不等式,
77
190300
3911
第二个事实更多的是在于财富的不平等,
03:26
and here the central中央 fact事实 is that wealth财富 inequality不等式
78
194211
3090
事实的核心就是财富的不平等的比率
03:29
is always a lot higher更高 than income收入 inequality不等式,
79
197301
2606
更高于收入不平等的比率,
03:31
and also that wealth财富 inequality不等式,
80
199907
2385
而且尽管财富不平等
03:34
although虽然 it has also increased增加 in recent最近 decades几十年,
81
202292
2653
在近几十年中又有所增长
03:36
is still less extreme极端 today今天
82
204945
1856
但是现在依然
03:38
than what it was a century世纪 ago,
83
206801
1879
低于一个世纪以前,
03:40
although虽然 the total quantity数量 of wealth财富
84
208680
2519
尽管现今的财富总量
03:43
relative相对的 to income收入 has now recovered恢复
85
211199
2025
与收入总量相比
03:45
from the very large shocks震荡
86
213224
1631
已经从大冲击中恢复过来了,
03:46
caused造成 by World世界 War战争 I, the Great Depression萧条,
87
214855
2025
这些冲击来自第一次世界大战、经济大萧条
03:48
World世界 War战争 IIII.
88
216880
1219
和第二次世界大战。
03:50
So let me show显示 you two graphs
89
218099
2044
现在我们来看两个图表
03:52
illustrating说明 fact事实 number two and fact事实 number three.
90
220143
2857
用来说明事实二和事实三。
03:55
So first, if you look at the level水平 of wealth财富 inequality不等式,
91
223000
4390
首先,如果你看一下
所显示的财富不均等的数字,
03:59
this is the share分享 of total wealth财富
92
227390
3158
总财富指数显示
04:02
going to the top最佳 10 percent百分 of wealth财富 holders持有人,
93
230548
2522
财富集中于10%的富裕人群中
04:05
so you can see the same相同 kind of reversal翻转
94
233070
2709
同类型的的逆转也存在于
04:07
between之间 the U.S. and Europe欧洲 that we had before
95
235779
2565
我们刚才提到的美国和欧洲
04:10
for income收入 inequality不等式.
96
238344
1676
并体现在收入的不平等上
04:12
So wealth财富 concentration浓度 was higher更高
97
240020
3550
所以就一个世纪前财富的集中度来说
04:15
in Europe欧洲 than in the U.S. a century世纪 ago,
98
243570
2243
欧洲比美国高,
04:17
and now it is the opposite对面.
99
245813
1834
而现在却相反了。
04:19
But you can also show显示 two things:
100
247647
1991
可是你也可以看到两个事实:
04:21
First, the general一般 level水平 of wealth财富 inequality不等式
101
249638
3701
第一,财富不平等的整体水平
04:25
is always higher更高 than income收入 inequality不等式.
102
253339
2655
总是高于收入不平等。
04:27
So remember记得, for income收入 inequality不等式,
103
255994
2340
所以要提醒大家的事,收入不平等中
04:30
the share分享 going to the top最佳 10 percent百分
104
258334
2328
前10%高收入者所占份额
04:32
was between之间 30 and 50 percent百分 of total income收入,
105
260662
4298
占收入总量的30%-50%,
04:36
whereas for wealth财富, the share分享 is always
106
264960
2812
与此对照,前10%的财富持有者
04:39
between之间 60 and 90 percent百分.
107
267772
2059
占财富总量的60%-90%
04:41
Okay, so that's fact事实 number one,
108
269831
1516
好了,这是事实一
04:43
and that's very important重要 for what follows如下.
109
271347
1926
这对于下面要讲的非常重要。
04:45
Wealth财富 concentration浓度 is always
110
273273
1721
财富集中度总是
04:46
a lot higher更高 than income收入 concentration浓度.
111
274994
1879
远高于收入集中度。
04:48
Fact事实 number two is that the rise上升
112
276873
3386
事实二是
近几十年来财富不平等加剧
04:52
in wealth财富 inequality不等式 in recent最近 decades几十年
113
280259
2947
04:55
is still not enough足够 to get us back to 1910.
114
283206
4286
还没有达到1910年水平。
04:59
So the big difference区别 today今天,
115
287492
1777
今天最大的区别是
05:01
wealth财富 inequality不等式 is still very large,
116
289269
1913
财富不平等还非常严重,
05:03
with 60, 70 percent百分 of total wealth财富 for the top最佳 10,
117
291182
3262
前10%的高财富持有者占财富总量的60%-70%
05:06
but the good news新闻 is that it's actually其实
118
294444
1845
不过好消息是现在
05:08
better than one century世纪 ago,
119
296289
1781
好于一个世纪以前,
05:10
where you had 90 percent百分 in
Europe欧洲 going to the top最佳 10.
120
298070
3371
当时欧洲10%的高财富持有者
占财富总量的90%
05:13
So today今天 what you have
121
301441
1991
今天您可以看到
05:15
is what I call the middle中间 40 percent百分,
122
303432
2002
中间40%的人,
05:17
the people who are not in the top最佳 10
123
305434
1913
就是除了前10%
05:19
and who are not in the bottom底部 50,
124
307347
1773
和底层50%以外的人
05:21
and what you can view视图 as the wealth财富 middle中间 class
125
309120
2266
您可以视之为财富中产阶级
05:23
that owns拥有 20 to 30 percent百分
126
311386
3143
占财富总量、国民财富的
05:26
of total wealth财富, national国民 wealth财富,
127
314529
1862
20%-30%,
05:28
whereas they used to be poor较差的, a century世纪 ago,
128
316391
3331
一个世纪前,他们更穷些,
05:31
when there was basically基本上 no wealth财富 middle中间 class.
129
319722
2618
那时基本上没有财富中产阶级。
05:34
So this is an important重要 change更改,
130
322340
1577
这是一个重要的变化,
05:35
and it's interesting有趣 to see that wealth财富 inequality不等式
131
323917
4615
有意思的是财富不平等
05:40
has not fully充分 recovered恢复 to pre-World前世界 War战争 I levels水平,
132
328532
3306
没有恢复到一战前水平,
05:43
although虽然 the total quantity数量 of wealth财富 has recovered恢复.
133
331838
3509
尽管财富总量已经恢复。
05:47
Okay? So this is the total value
134
335347
1947
这是财富相对于收入的
05:49
of wealth财富 relative相对的 to income收入,
135
337294
2216
总额
05:51
and you can see that in particular特定 in Europe欧洲,
136
339510
2113
您可以看到特别在欧洲,
05:53
we are almost几乎 back to the pre-World前世界 War战争 I level水平.
137
341623
3860
我们差不多回到了一战前水平。
05:57
So there are really two
138
345483
1845
这个件事有两个不同
05:59
different不同 parts部分 of the story故事 here.
139
347328
2531
的部分。
06:01
One has to do with
140
349859
1119
其一为,
06:02
the total quantity数量 of wealth财富 that we accumulate积累,
141
350978
2442
我们积累财富的总量
06:05
and there is nothing bad per seSE, of course课程,
142
353420
1678
这本身不是坏事,
06:07
in accumulating积累 a lot of wealth财富,
143
355098
1747
我们积累了大量财富,
06:08
and in particular特定 if it is more diffuse扩散
144
356845
2868
特别分布更平均
06:11
and less concentrated集中.
145
359713
1394
不那么集中。
06:13
So what we really want to focus焦点 on
146
361107
2745
这里我们关注
06:15
is the long-run长跑 evolution演化 of wealth财富 inequality不等式,
147
363852
2381
财富不平等的长期演化,
06:18
and what's going to happen发生 in the future未来.
148
366233
2300
以及未来将要发生什么。
06:20
How can we account帐户 for the fact事实 that
149

我们如何解释,第一次世界大战前
06:22
until直到 World世界 War战争 I, wealth财富 inequality不等式 was so high
150
370558
3662
财富不平等如此高
06:26
and, if anything, was rising升起 to even higher更高 levels水平,
151
374220
3190
没有一战的话还会更高
06:29
and how can we think about the future未来?
152
377410
3327
我们如何设想未来?
06:32
So let me come to some of the explanations说明
153
380737
3886
让我来讲解和推测一下
06:36
and speculations猜测 about the future未来.
154
384623
2136
未来。
06:38
Let me first say that
155
386759
1595
让我先说说
06:40
probably大概 the best最好 model模型 to explain说明
156
388354
1987
最好解释财富集中度高于
06:42
why wealth财富 is so much
157
390341
2097
收入集中度
06:44
more concentrated集中 than income收入
158
392438
2186
的动态模型
06:46
is a dynamic动态, dynastic王朝 model模型
159
394624
3112
是一个动态模型
06:49
where individuals个人 have a long horizon地平线
160
397736
2464
由于各种原因个人有长期
06:52
and accumulate积累 wealth财富 for all sorts排序 of reasons原因.
161
400200
2756
的财富积累期。
06:54
If people were accumulating积累 wealth财富
162
402956
2610
如果人们只为
06:57
only for life cycle周期 reasons原因,
163
405566
2003
生命周期积累财富,
06:59
you know, to be able能够 to consume消耗
164
407569
2013
这样就可以
07:01
when they are old,
165
409582
1587
老有所依,
07:03
then the level水平 of wealth财富 inequality不等式
166
411169
2373
这种情况下,
07:05
should be more or less in line线
167
413542
2317
财富不平等应该和
07:07
with the level水平 of income收入 inequality不等式.
168
415859
1969
收入不平等差不多。
07:09
But it will be very difficult to explain说明
169
417828
1928
但这很难解释
07:11
why you have so much more wealth财富 inequality不等式
170
419756
2194
为什么财富不平等
07:13
than income收入 inequality不等式
171
421950
1484
更甚于收入不平等
07:15
with a pure life cycle周期 model模型,
172
423434
1276
如果仅用生命周期模型的话,
07:16
so you need a story故事
173
424710
2031
这里需要一个理由
07:18
where people also care关心
174
426741
1688
人们还需要
07:20
about wealth财富 accumulation积累 for other reasons原因.
175
428429
2531
关注财富积累的其他理由。
07:22
So typically一般, they want to transmit发送
176
430960
1924
典型的是,人们想
07:24
wealth财富 to the next下一个 generation, to their children孩子,
177
432884
3326
为下一代积累财富,给他们的儿孙,
07:28
or sometimes有时 they want to accumulate积累 wealth财富
178
436210
1768
有时候人们积累财富
07:29
because of the prestige声望, the
power功率 that goes with wealth财富.
179
437978
2768
是为了随财富而来的威望和权力。
07:32
So there must必须 be other reasons原因
180
440746
1384
还有其他原因
07:34
for accumulating积累 wealth财富 than just life cycle周期
181
442130
1990
不只是仅为老有所依而积累财富
07:36
to explain说明 what we see in the data数据.
182
444120
2768
来解释我们看到的数据。
07:38
Now, in a large class of dynamic动态 models楷模
183
446888
3346
如今,在一个大型的财富积累的
07:42
of wealth财富 accumulation积累
184
450234
1976
动态模型中
07:44
with such这样 dynastic王朝 motive动机 for accumulating积累 wealth财富,
185
452210
3558
有动态积累财富的动机
07:47
you will have all sorts排序 of random随机,
186
455768
2846
且可进行所有随机的
07:50
multiplicative shocks震荡.
187
458614
923
乘法运算。
07:51
So for instance, some families家庭
188
459537
2249
例如,一些家庭
07:53
have a very large number of children孩子,
189
461786
1687
孩子很多
07:55
so the wealth财富 will be divided分为.
190
463473
1766
财富就会分散
07:57
Some families家庭 have fewer children孩子.
191
465239
1890
一些家庭孩子少
07:59
You also have shocks震荡 to rates利率 of return返回.
192
467129
2228
还要算上收益率的冲击。
08:01
Some families家庭 make huge巨大 capital首都 gains收益.
193
469357
2097
一些家庭获得巨额资本收益
08:03
Some made制作 bad investments投资.
194
471454
1795
另一些投资失败
08:05
So you will always have some mobility流动性
195
473249
2241
这样财富有更多的
08:07
in the wealth财富 process处理.
196
475490
1438
流动性。
08:08
Some people will move移动 up,
some people will move移动 down.
197
476928
2375
有些人变富有些人变穷。
08:11
The important重要 point is that,
198
479303
1652
重点是
08:12
in any such这样 model模型,
199
480955
1010
这些模型
08:13
for a given特定 variance方差 of such这样 shocks震荡,
200
481965
2556
给定方差的冲击,
08:16
the equilibrium平衡 level水平 of wealth财富 inequality不等式
201
484521
2036
财富不平等的均衡水平将是
08:18
will be a steeply rising升起 function功能 of r minus减去 g.
202
486557
4837
一个(r - g)急剧上升的函数。
08:23
And intuitively直观地, the reason原因 why the difference区别
203
491394
2869
直觉上说,
财富的回报率
08:26
between之间 the rate of return返回 to wealth财富
204
494263
1844
08:28
and the growth发展 rate is important重要
205
496107
1755
和增长率之间的差距是由于
08:29
is that initial初始 wealth财富 inequalities不平等
206
497862
2312
初始财富不平等造成的
08:32
will be amplified放大 at a faster更快 pace步伐
207
500174
2391
将以更快的速度被放大
08:34
with a bigger r minus减去 g.
208
502565
2069
r - g。
08:36
So take a simple简单 example,
209
504634
1474
举个简单的例子,
08:38
with r equals等于 five percent百分 and g equals等于 one percent百分,
210
506108
3766
r为5%,g为1%,
08:41
wealth财富 holders持有人 only need to reinvest再投资
211
509874
2108
财富持有者只需要再投资
08:43
one fifth第五 of their capital首都 income收入 to ensure确保
212
511982
2639
资产中的五分之一
08:46
that their wealth财富 rises上升 as fast快速
213
514621
2733
就可以保证他们的财富
08:49
as the size尺寸 of the economy经济.
214
517354
1913
可以和经济等速增长。
08:51
So this makes品牌 it easier更轻松
215
519267
1383
这就使得
08:52
to build建立 and perpetuate延续 large fortunes命运
216
520650
1766
财富保值更容易
08:54
because you can consume消耗 four fifths五分之二,
217
522416
1955
零税率的情况下
08:56
assuming假设 zero tax,
218
524371
1739
你可以消费另外的五分之四,
08:58
and you can just reinvest再投资 one fifth第五.
219
526110
1661
你只需要五分之一用以再投资。
08:59
So of course课程 some families家庭
will consume消耗 more than that,
220
527771
2588
当然有些家庭消费多些,
09:02
some will consume消耗 less, so there will be
221
530359
1743
有些则少些,
09:04
some mobility流动性 in the distribution分配,
222
532102
1755
这样分配就有了流动性,
09:05
but on average平均, they only need to reinvest再投资 one fifth第五,
223
533857
2846
平均来说,他们只需要
五分之一财富由于再投资
09:08
so this allows允许 high wealth财富 inequalities不平等 to be sustained持续.
224
536703
3769
这会导致财富不平等的持续。
09:12
Now, you should not be surprised诧异
225
540472
2497
您不要惊讶
09:14
by the statement声明 that r can be bigger than g forever永远,
226
542969
3536
r 会永远大于 g的说法
09:18
because, in fact事实, this is what happened发生
227
546505
1616
因为,这是
09:20
during most of the history历史 of mankind人类.
228
548121
2071
人类大部分历史的情况。
09:22
And this was in a way very obvious明显 to everybody每个人
229
550192
3351
每个人都应该清楚
09:25
for a simple简单 reason原因, which哪一个 is that growth发展
230
553543
1778
原因很简单,
09:27
was close to zero percent百分
231
555321
2188
人类历史上
09:29
during most of the history历史 of mankind人类.
232
557509
1621
大部分时间增长率都接近0。
09:31
Growth发展 was maybe 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 percent百分,
233
559130
3532
增长率可能为0.1%,0.2%,0.3%
09:34
but very slow growth发展 of population人口
234
562662
1996
人口增长缓慢
09:36
and output产量 per capita人头,
235
564658
1997
人均产出
09:38
whereas the rate of return返回 on capital首都
236
566655
1884
资本回报率
09:40
of course课程 was not zero percent百分.
237
568539
1856
当然不是0%。
09:42
It was, for land土地 assets资产, which哪一个 was
238
570395
2036
土地资产
09:44
the traditional传统 form形成
239
572431
1809
传统上的
09:46
of assets资产 in preindustrial工业化前 societies社会,
240
574240
2401
工业化前社会,
09:48
it was typically一般 five percent百分.
241
576641
1763
一般为5%。
09:50
Any reader读者 of Jane Austen奥斯丁 would know that.
242
578404
3786
对于作家简·奥斯汀的读者应该知道,
09:54
If you want an annual全年 income收入 of 1,000 pounds英镑,
243
582190
2908
如果你想每年收入1000英镑,
09:57
you should have a capital首都 value
244
585098
1642
你得有2万英镑的
09:58
of 20,000 pounds英镑 so that
245
586740
1856
本钱
10:00
five percent百分 of 20,000 is 1,000.
246
588596
2550
这样2万的5%为1000。
10:03
And in a way, this was
247
591146
2017
某种程度上来说,
10:05
the very foundation基础 of society社会,
248
593163
1778
这是以往社会的基础,
10:06
because r bigger than g
249
594941
3035
因为r > g
10:09
was what allowed允许 holders持有人 of wealth财富 and assets资产
250
597976
4124
这样财富和资产的持有者可以
10:14
to live生活 off their capital首都 income收入
251
602100
2690
依靠资本收益生活
10:16
and to do something else其他 in life
252
604790
2700
而且可以干点儿别的
10:19
than just to care关心 about their own拥有 survival生存.
253
607490
3195
不只是关注与如何生存。
10:22
Now, one important重要 conclusion结论
254
610685
2160
一个重要推论
10:24
of my historical历史的 research研究 is that
255
612845
1991
是依据我的历史研究
10:26
modern现代 industrial产业 growth发展 did not change更改
256
614836
2711
当代工业增长没有改变
10:29
this basic基本 fact事实 as much as one might威力 have expected预期.
257
617547
2824
这一基本事实。
10:32
Of course课程, the growth发展 rate
258
620371
1679
当然,增长率
10:34
following以下 the Industrial产业 Revolution革命
259
622050
1808
随着工业革命提升
10:35
rose玫瑰, typically一般 from zero to one to two percent百分,
260
623858
4322
从0%增长到2%,
10:40
but at the same相同 time, the rate of return返回
261
628180
1930
但是同时,资本回报率
10:42
to capital首都 also rose玫瑰
262
630110
1645
也增加了
10:43
so that the gap间隙 between之间 the two
263
631755
2425
这样两者之间的差距
10:46
did not really change更改.
264
634180
1456
并没有改变。
10:47
So during the 20th century世纪,
265
635636
2250
20世纪
10:49
you had a very unique独特 combination组合 of events事件.
266
637886
2644
有一个非常独特的事件汇总影响。
10:52
First, a very low rate of return返回
267
640530
2017
首先,由于战争1914-1945
10:54
due应有 to the 1914 and 1945 war战争 shocks震荡,
268
642547
3016
资本回报率非常低
10:57
destruction毁坏 of wealth财富, inflation通货膨胀,
269
645563
2305
财富的损失,贬值
10:59
bankruptcy破产 during the Great Depression萧条,
270
647868
1980
大萧条时的破产,
11:01
and all of this reduced减少
271
649848
1665
这都降低了
11:03
the private私人的 rate of return返回 to wealth财富
272
651513
1750
个人的财富收益率
11:05
to unusually异常 low levels水平
273
653263
1895
到了一个低水平
11:07
between之间 1914 and 1945.
274
655158
2339
在1914-1945。
11:09
And then, in the postwar战后 period,
275
657497
1836
战后,
11:11
you had unusually异常 high growth发展 rate,
276
659333
3237
增长率通常很高,
11:14
partly部分地 due应有 to the reconstruction重建.
277
662570
2374
部分原因是重建。
11:16
You know, in Germany德国, in France法国, in Japan日本,
278
664944
1925
德国,法国,日本,
11:18
you had five percent百分 growth发展 rate
279
666869
1551
从1950-1980
11:20
between之间 1950 and 1980
280
668420
3150
有5%的增长率
11:23
largely大部分 due应有 to reconstruction重建,
281
671570
1643
就是由于战后重建。
11:25
and also due应有 to very large demographic人口 growth发展,
282
673213
2351
同样由于人口大量增长
11:27
the Baby宝宝 Boom繁荣 Cohort队列 effect影响.
283
675564
2141
婴儿潮世代效应。
11:29
Now, apparently显然地 that's not going to last for very long,
284
677705
2438
显然这不能持续很久,
11:32
or at least最小 the population人口 growth发展
285
680143
1675
至少人口增长率
11:33
is supposed应该 to decline下降 in the future未来,
286
681818
2768
在未来会下降,
11:36
and the best最好 projections预测 we have is that
287
684586
3656
最佳的推测是
11:40
the long-run长跑 growth发展 is going to be closer接近
288
688242
1828
长期增长率接近
11:42
to one to two percent百分
289
690070
1423
1%-2%
11:43
rather than four to five percent百分.
290
691493
1946
而不是4%-5%
11:45
So if you look at this,
291
693439
2677
仔细审视,
11:48
these are the best最好 estimates估计 we have
292
696116
2141
我们得到的最佳估计是
11:50
of world世界 GDPGDP growth发展
293
698257
1656
世界GDP增长
11:51
and rate of return返回 on capital首都,
294
699913
2359
和资本回报率
11:54
average平均 rates利率 of return返回 on capital首都,
295
702272
2088
平均资本回报率,
11:56
so you can see that during most
296
704360
1068
您可以看到
11:57
of the history历史 of mankind人类,
297
705428
1517
人类历史大部分时间
11:58
the growth发展 rate was very small,
298
706945
1613
增长率非常小
12:00
much lower降低 than the rate of return返回,
299
708558
1834
低于回报率,
12:02
and then during the 20th century世纪,
300
710392
2362
在20世纪
12:04
it is really the population人口 growth发展,
301
712754
2171
战后
12:06
very high in the postwar战后 period,
302
714925
2272
人口快速增长
12:09
and the reconstruction重建 process处理
303
717197
1600
以及战后重建
12:10
that brought growth发展
304
718797
1573
带来了增长
12:12
to a smaller gap间隙 with the rate of return返回.
305
720370
3071
缩小了增长率和回报率之间的差距。
12:15
Here I use the United联合的 Nations国家 population人口 projections预测,
306
723441
3523
这里我引用联合国人口预测,
12:18
so of course课程 they are uncertain不确定.
307
726964
2476
当然这并不是最准确的数字
12:21
It could be that we all start开始
308
729440
1391
但是我们未来可能
12:22
having a lot of children孩子 in the future未来,
309
730831
2106
都会有很多小孩,
12:24
and the growth发展 rates利率 are going to be higher更高,
310
732937
2765
增长率变得更高,
12:27
but from now on,
311
735702
1249
但是今后
12:28
these are the best最好 projections预测 we have,
312
736951
2802
这是我们最后好的预测,
12:31
and this will make global全球 growth发展
313
739753
1934
这会导致全球增长
12:33
decline下降 and the gap间隙 between之间
314
741687
2756
下滑和回报率的差距
12:36
the rate of return返回 go up.
315
744443
2003
会加大。
12:38
Now, the other unusual异常 event事件
316
746446
2862
还有其他不同的事件
12:41
during the 20th century世纪
317
749308
1671
在20世纪
12:42
was, as I said,
318
750979
1329
如我所说
12:44
destruction毁坏, taxation税收 of capital首都,
319
752308
2316
财产破坏,资本税
12:46
so this is the pre-tax税前 rate of return返回.
320
754624
2735
这是税前收益率
12:49
This is the after-tax税后 rate of return返回,
321
757359
2979
这是税后收益率
12:52
and after destruction毁坏,
322
760338
1566
破坏后的收益率,
12:53
and this is what brought
323
761904
1777
这是结果
12:55
the average平均 rate of return返回
324
763681
1688
税后平均回报率
12:57
after tax, after destruction毁坏,
325
765369
1789
破坏后,
12:59
below下面 the growth发展 rate during a long time period.
326
767158
2420
低于增长率。
13:01
But without the destruction毁坏,
327
769578
1674
如果没有破坏,
13:03
without the taxation税收, this
would not have happened发生.
328
771252
2475
没有税的话,这就不会发生。
13:05
So let me say that the balance平衡 between之间
329
773727
3243
让我说一下
13:08
returns回报 on capital首都 and growth发展
330
776970
2356
资本回报率经济增长之间的
13:11
depends依靠 on many许多 different不同 factors因素
331
779326
1862
平衡取决于不同的因素,
13:13
that are very difficult to predict预测:
332
781188
2085
很难预测:
13:15
technology技术 and the development发展
333
783273
2115
技术和开发
13:17
of capital-intensive资本密集型 techniques技术.
334
785388
2584
资本密集型技术
13:19
So right now, the most capital-intensive资本密集型 sectors行业
335
787972
3019
当下,资本密集型行业
13:22
in the economy经济 are the real真实 estate房地产 sector扇形, housing住房,
336
790991
3376
在经济中主要是房地产行业,
13:26
the energy能源 sector扇形, but it could be in the future未来
337
794367
2862
能源行业,但是未来
13:29
that we have a lot more robots机器人 in a number of sectors行业
338
797229
3712
更多的机器人应用在大量行业
13:32
and that this would be a bigger share分享
339
800941
1889
这会占更大的
13:34
of the total capital首都 stock股票 that it is today今天.
340
802830
1910
总发行股本。
13:36
Well, we are very far from this,
341
804740
1994
当然,我们还距此很远,
13:38
and from now, what's going on
342
806734
1766
今后,
13:40
in the real真实 estate房地产 sector扇形, the energy能源 sector扇形,
343
808500
1789
房地产行业,能源行业
13:42
is much more important重要 for the total capital首都 stock股票
344
810289
2126
更重要总发行股本
13:44
and capital首都 share分享.
345
812415
1134
和资本股
13:45
The other important重要 issue问题
346
813549
2033
其他重要问题是
13:47
is that there are scale规模 effects效果
in portfolio投资组合 management管理,
347
815582
2150
投资管理的规模效应,
13:49
together一起 with financial金融 complexity复杂,
348
817732
2419
加上金融复杂性,
13:52
financial金融 deregulation放松管制,
349
820151
1450
金融自由化,
13:53
that make it easier更轻松 to get higher更高 rates利率 of return返回
350
821601
2709
这获得更高回报率变得更容易
13:56
for a large portfolio投资组合,
351
824310
1627
大型投资组合
13:57
and this seems似乎 to be particularly尤其 strong强大
352
825937
2663
使得亿万富翁,大型资本捐增资金
14:00
for billionaires亿万富翁, large capital首都 endowments捐赠.
353
828600
1982
变得非常强大。
14:02
Just to give you one example,
354
830582
2290
举个例子,
14:04
this comes from the Forbes福布斯 billionaire亿万富翁 rankings排名
355
832872
3333
从福布斯排行榜
14:08
over the 1987-2013 period,
356
836205
3330
在1987-2013间公布的数据来看,
14:11
and you can see the very top最佳 wealth财富 holders持有人
357
839535
2788
顶级财富持有者
14:14
have been going up at six, seven percent百分 per year
358
842323
3117
每年提高6%-7%。
14:17
in real真实 terms条款 above以上 inflation通货膨胀,
359
845440
2391
实际高于通货膨胀,
14:19
whereas average平均 income收入 in the world世界,
360
847831
2372
世界平均收入
14:22
average平均 wealth财富 in the world世界,
361
850203
1363
世界平均财富,
14:23
have increased增加 at only two percent百分 per year.
362
851566
3383
增长每年只有2%。
14:26
And you find the same相同
363
854949
1729
同样
14:28
for large university大学 endowments捐赠
364
856678
1276
大型大学捐增资金
14:29
the bigger the initial初始 endowments捐赠,
365
857954
2268
初始捐增资金越大
14:32
the bigger the rate of return返回.
366
860222
2068
回报率越高。
14:34
Now, what could be doneDONE?
367
862290
1678
怎么办?
14:35
The first thing is that I think we need
368
863968
2396
首先我认为我们需要
14:38
more financial金融 transparency透明度.
369
866364
2115
更高的财务透明度。
14:40
We know too little about global全球 wealth财富 dynamics动力学,
370
868479
3841
我们对全球财富动力学知之甚少,
14:44
so we need international国际 transmission传输
371
872320
1900
我们需要国际间传递
14:46
of bank银行 information信息.
372
874220
1262
银行信息。
14:47
We need a global全球 registry注册处 of financial金融 assets资产,
373
875482
2686
我们需要一个全球性的金融资产注册表
14:50
more coordination协调 on wealth财富 taxation税收,
374
878168
2491
更多的财富税,
14:52
and even wealth财富 tax with a small tax rate
375
880659
3112
即使低的财富税税率
14:55
will be a way to produce生产 information信息
376
883771
2216
会产生相关资产信息
14:57
so that then we can adapt适应 our policies政策
377
885987
2682
以便根据我们观察
15:00
to whatever随你 we observe.
378
888669
1836
调整政策。
15:02
And to some extent程度, the fight斗争
379
890505
1838
某种程度上,
15:04
against反对 tax havens避风港
380
892343
1481
打击避税天堂
15:05
and automatic自动 transmission传输 of information信息
381
893824
1815
自动传输信息
15:07
is pushing推动 us in this direction方向.
382
895639
1851
可以把我们推向这个方向。
15:09
Now, there are other ways方法 to redistribute重新分配 wealth财富,
383
897490
2324
还有其他的财富再分配方法,
15:11
which哪一个 it can be tempting诱人的 to use.
384
899814
2957
也可以一试。
15:14
Inflation通货膨胀:
385
902771
1356
通货膨胀:
15:16
it's much easier更轻松 to print打印 money
386
904127
1699
印钱
15:17
than to write a tax code, so that's very tempting诱人的,
387
905826
2155
比拟定一部税法简单,很有诱惑力,
15:19
but sometimes有时 you don't know
what you do with the money.
388
907981
2120
但有时你不知道如何花钱。
15:22
This is a problem问题.
389
910101
1647
这是个问题。
15:23
Expropriation征用 is very tempting诱人的.
390
911748
1863
没收也不错。
15:25
Just when you feel some people get too wealthy富裕,
391
913611
2261
如果觉得某些人太富了,
15:27
you just expropriate征用 them.
392
915872
1294
就没收他们。
15:29
But this is not a very efficient高效 way
393
917166
1712
不过这不是对财富动态监管的
15:30
to organize组织 a regulation of wealth财富 dynamics动力学.
394
918878
2833
有效方法。
15:33
So war战争 is an even less efficient高效 way,
395
921711
2479
战争效率更低,
15:36
so I tend趋向 to prefer比较喜欢 progressive进步 taxation税收,
396
924190
2336
我更倾向于累进税,
15:38
but of course课程, history历史 — (Laughter笑声) —
397
926526
2574
当然,历史(笑声)
15:41
history历史 will invent发明 its own拥有 best最好 ways方法,
398
929100
1735
历史会创造最好的方法,
15:42
and it will probably大概 involve涉及
399
930835
1698
可能是
15:44
a combination组合 of all of these.
400
932533
1734
上述方法的组合。
15:46
Thank you.
401
934267
1866
谢谢
15:48
(Applause掌声)
402
936133
2137
(掌声)
15:50
Bruno布鲁诺 Giussani吉萨尼: Thomas托马斯 PikettyPiketty. Thank you.
403
938270
5559
布鲁诺·朱萨尼:托马斯·皮克迪,谢谢。
15:55
Thomas托马斯, I want to ask you two or three questions问题,
404
943829
1879
托马斯,我想问你两三个问题,
15:57
because it's impressive有声有色 how you're
in command命令 of your data数据, of course课程,
405
945708
3859
你的数据令人印象深刻
16:01
but basically基本上 what you suggest建议 is
406
949567
3794
但是基本上你建议
16:05
growing生长 wealth财富 concentration浓度 is kind of
407
953361
1573
财富集中度提高
16:06
a natural自然 tendency趋势 of capitalism资本主义,
408
954934
1924
是资本主义的自然趋势,
16:08
and if we leave离开 it to its own拥有 devices设备,
409
956858
3538
如果任由发展,
16:12
it may可能 threaten威胁 the system系统 itself本身,
410
960396
2240
可能会危及系统本身,
16:14
so you're suggesting提示 that we need to act法案
411
962636
1726
所以您建议采取
16:16
to implement实行 policies政策 that redistribute重新分配 wealth财富,
412
964362
3038
一些政策对财富再分配,
16:19
including包含 the ones那些 we just saw:
413
967400
1721
包括
16:21
progressive进步 taxation税收, etc等等.
414
969121
1471
累进税,等等。
16:22
In the current当前 political政治 context上下文,
415
970592
2139
当下政治环境下
16:24
how realistic实际 are those?
416
972731
1991
如何实现?
16:26
How likely容易 do you think that it is
417
974722
1811
您认为
16:28
that they will be implemented实施?
418
976533
1744
如何执行?
16:30
Thomas托马斯 PikettyPiketty: Well, you know, I think
419
978277
1211
托马斯·皮凯迪:当然,我认为
16:31
if you look back through通过 time,
420
979488
1781
如果你看看过去,
16:33
the history历史 of income收入, wealth财富 and taxation税收
421
981269
2651
收入的历史,财富和税
16:35
is full充分 of surprise.
422
983920
1602
充满了不确定性。
16:37
So I am not terribly可怕 impressed印象深刻
423
985522
2605
我不会惊讶于
16:40
by those who know in advance提前
424
988127
1568
谁会提前知道
16:41
what will or will not happen发生.
425
989695
1631
会发生什么。
16:43
I think one century世纪 ago,
426
991326
1704
一个世纪前,
16:45
many许多 people would have said
427
993030
1569
很多人会说
16:46
that progressive进步 income收入 taxation税收 would never happen发生
428
994599
2138
不会征收累进所得税
16:48
and then it happened发生.
429
996737
1520
结果征了。
16:50
And even five years年份 ago,
430
998257
1989
5年前,
16:52
many许多 people would have said that bank银行 secrecy保密
431
1000246
2352
很多人会说
16:54
will be with us forever永远 in Switzerland瑞士,
432
1002598
2025
瑞士会一直坚持银行保密法,
16:56
that Switzerland瑞士 was too powerful强大
433
1004623
1788
瑞士太强大了
16:58
for the rest休息 of the world世界,
434
1006411
1489
相对于世界其他地方,
16:59
and then suddenly突然 it took a few少数 U.S. sanctions制裁
435
1007900
2961
然而美国的几个对瑞士银行的制裁
17:02
against反对 Swiss瑞士人 banks银行 for a big change更改 to happen发生,
436
1010861
2622
就导致了巨变,
17:05
and now we are moving移动 toward
437
1013483
1703
此后
17:07
more financial金融 transparency透明度.
438
1015186
1676
金融透明度更高了。
17:08
So I think it's not that difficult
439
1016862
4281
我认为
17:13
to better coordinate坐标 politically政治上.
440
1021143
2469
更好的政治协调并不难。
17:15
We are going to have a treaty条约
441
1023612
2058
我们会和表格上
17:17
with half of the world世界 GDPGDP around the table
442
1025670
3049
半数的世界GDP贡献国
17:20
with the U.S. and the European欧洲的 Union联盟,
443
1028719
2002
和美国、欧盟谈判
17:22
so if half of the world世界 GDPGDP is not enough足够
444
1030721
2126
如果世界一半GDP不够
17:24
to make progress进展 on financial金融 transparency透明度
445
1032847
2666
改善金融透明性
17:27
and minimal最小 tax for multinational跨国 corporate企业 profits利润,
446
1035513
4084
为跨国企业利润收最少的税,
17:31
what does it take?
447
1039597
1664
需要做什么?
17:33
So I think these are not technical技术 difficulties困难.
448
1041261
3623
我认为这些技术上不困难。
17:36
I think we can make progress进展
449
1044884
1924
我认为会取得进展的
17:38
if we have a more pragmatic务实
approach途径 to these questions问题
450
1046808
2587
如果我们有对这些问题更实用的方法
17:41
and we have the proper正确 sanctions制裁
451
1049395
1901
我们制裁
17:43
on those who benefit效益 from financial金融 opacity不透明度.
452
1051296
2991
从金融不透明中获益的人。
17:46
BGBG: One of the arguments参数
453
1054287
1653
布鲁诺·朱萨尼:反对您观点的
17:47
against反对 your point of view视图
454
1055940
1433
一个争论就是
17:49
is that economic经济 inequality不等式
455
1057373
1442
经济不平等
17:50
is not only a feature特征 of capitalism资本主义
but is actually其实 one of its engines引擎.
456
1058815
3637
这不仅是资本主义的特色也是驱动引擎。
17:54
So we take measures措施 to lower降低 inequality不等式,
457
1062452
2801
我们要是采取措施降低不平等,
17:57
and at the same相同 time we lower降低 growth发展, potentially可能.
458
1065253
2407
同时我们会不经意间降低增长与潜能。
17:59
What do you answer回答 to that?
459
1067660
1560
您怎么看?
18:01
TPTP: Yeah, I think inequality不等式
460
1069220
1729
托马斯·皮凯迪:是的,不平等
18:02
is not a problem问题 per seSE.
461
1070949
1889
本身不是一个问题。
18:04
I think inequality不等式 up to a point
462
1072838
2040
我认为某种程度上
18:06
can actually其实 be useful有用 for innovation革新 and growth发展.
463
1074878
2652
不平等有利于革新和增长。
18:09
The problem问题 is, it's a question of degree.
464
1077530
2193
问题是,问题的度。
18:11
When inequality不等式 gets得到 too extreme极端,
465
1079723
2544
不平等太大了,
18:14
then it becomes useless无用 for growth发展
466
1082267
2889
增长就没有意义
18:17
and it can even become成为 bad
467
1085156
1462
会更糟
18:18
because it tends趋向 to lead to high perpetuation永存
468
1086618
3057
因为它会导致
不平等的固化
18:21
of inequality不等式 over time
469
1089675
1636
18:23
and low mobility流动性.
470
1091311
1866
降低流动性。
18:25
And for instance, the kind of wealth财富 concentrations浓度
471
1093177
3286
例如,像19世纪那样的
18:28
that we had in the 19th century世纪
472
1096463
2877
财富集中度
18:31
and pretty漂亮 much until直到 World世界 War战争 I
473
1099340
1925
这个集中情况一直持续到一战前
18:33
in every一切 European欧洲的 country国家
474
1101265
1765
