有关社会保险问题辩论的最为奇怪的观点之一令世界最为富裕的国家莫衷一是。这一观点认为,由政府资助的、固定金额的养老金体制(例如美国的社会保险体系)过时了。这些观点认为,对经济大萧条和二战后年代的工业化经济体而言,这些养老金体制是不错的,但在当今高科技、网络化以及后工业化社会中,他们已经落伍了。 One of the weirdest points about the debate on social security is that the world’s richest countries are totally different. This view argues that a government-funded, fixed-amount pension system, such as the U.S. social security system, is outdated. These views hold that these pension systems are good for the Great Depression and for the industrialized economies of the post-World War II era, but they have fallen behind in today’s high-tech, networked and post-industrialized societies.
