正如我在《不平等的代价 》 （ The Price of Inequality）一书中所指出的，美国经济不平等中有很大一部分可以归因于富人对政府的影响不成比例，并利用此影响巩固自己的富裕。
As I explain in my book The Price of Inequality, much of the rise in US economic inequality is attributable to a government in which the rich have disproportionate influence –& and use that influence to entrench themselves.
