各石油输出国收入的大幅度增长,正在引起它们迅猛加速发展经济的希望——确切地说,这是一种奢望。从长远的观点来看,只存在着这么一个问题,即中东国家要发展多样化的和生产性的经济,以提高中东各国人民的福利水平。然而,从中期的观点来看,在发展的道路上将出现困难,进展将比现在普遍期望的要慢。 The substantial increase in the income of the oil-exporting countries is causing them to accelerate the rapid development of the economy - precisely, this is a kind of extravagance. From a long-term point of view, there is only such a problem that the Middle East countries should develop diversified and productive economies in order to raise the welfare level of the peoples of the Middle East. However, from the mid-term point of view, difficulties will arise on the road to development and progress will be slower than what is now generally expected.
