南北差距越来越大过去的百年,是世界经济飞速发展的重要历史阶段。特别是最近十多年来,虽然遇到重重困难和挫折,但世界经济在高新科技的推动下,从总体上看呈加快发展之势。然而,人们也日益忧虑地看到:一方面西方经济特别是美国经济持续较快增长,另一方面许多发展中国家经济发展缓慢,有的国家经济停滞不前甚至出现倒退。近年来,国际社会试图解决的南北差距,特别是发达国家和最不发达国家之间的差距不但没有缩小,反而越来越大。差距扩大原因何在? The growing gap between the North and the South has been an important historical stage in the rapid development of the world economy over the past century.

However, people are also increasingly anxious to see that on the one hand, the Western economies, especially the U.S. economy, have enjoyed sustained and rapid economic growth. On the other hand, many developing countries have experienced slow economic growth and some countries have stagnated or even regressed their economies.
