　　Of course not all western jobs are at risk. But as roles are replaced by bar codes and bytes, a bifurcation is under way. In countries such as the US there are the so-called “lovely” high-skilled, well-paid jobs at the top, and “lousy” low-paying menial jobs at the bottom – with the middle being squeezed. The new face of globalisation does not just threaten western manufacturing jobs, but many service jobs too.

　　当然，乐观主义者可能会辩称，这种转变也会产生赢家。比如，永远乐观的麦肯锡就暗示，美国和德国等处于全球流动中心的国家将极大地受益，它们从中获得的增长比那些全球化关联度较低的地区高40%。这一情况对于拥有适当技能的公司和个人也同样成立。

　　Of course, as an optimist might argue, this shift will also create winners. The perennially chirpy McKinsey suggests, for example, that countries at the centre of global flows – such as the US and Germany – will benefit hugely, reaping 40 per cent more growth than less connected areas. So will companies and individuals with the right skills.

　　不过，12.6万亿美元“知识密集型”流动正在全球造成动荡。难以应对这种动荡的世界，为新一轮有关不平等的争论提供了绝佳素材——即便(或者说尤其是)如今你能够如此轻而易举地在数字化网络上买到皮凯蒂的书(甚至是直接买到此书的电子版)，而根本不用与老式的书商打交道。
