发帖数: 547 | 1 The economic contrast between these two periods is quite clear. As Jared
Bernstein, who served for a time as the chief economist and economic adviser
for Vice President Joe Biden, testified to Congress, “Over the three
decades from 1947–79, real median family income grew almost in lock step
with productivity growth.”9 Bernstein added that while between 1947 and
1979 the top 1 percent of Americans saw a 119 percent increase in real
income, the median household also saw incomes climb a similar 112 percent.10
Disaggregating by race, median income for Black families (adjusted to 2011
dollars) rose from $14,216 to $32,537 between 1947 and 1969, a 128 percent
increase, and faster than white incomes rose. In 1949, Black median income
was 51.1 percent of white income; by 1969, the ratio had improved to 61.3
percent.11 (In the 1970s, Black income growth slowed as deindustrialization
hit Black workers first and harder than white workers, at least initially.)

By contrast, between 1979 and 2010, the top 1 percent of Americans saw their
real incomes rise by 80 percent, while the median income increased only 11
percent.13 Meanwhile, the ratio of Black income to white income has been
stuck at 61 percent.14 Because overall income growth has slowed, median
Black household income since 1969 has risen only to $39,715, a much more
modest 22 percent.15 To reiterate, over a span of twenty years (1949 to 1969
), Black incomes increased by 128 percent, compared to a much more modest
gain of 22 percent in the forty-year “post-civil rights movement” period
that followed.16 | c*******v

也与苏联之竞争有关。
现在美国名字上有“国”这个字。其实不是传统类型的国家。类似于唐朝的关中地区。
不仅仅理论上，在现实上，很多国家也已经把主权outsource到各种国际组织了。例如
北约。欧盟。
