摘　　要：随着知识经济兴起和经济全球化节奏加快,西方社会乃至全球收入两极分化的趋势也日益加剧。两极分化曾对西方资本主义社会造成严重撕裂并严重制约着资本主义生产方式的持续运转。1929~1933年资本主义世界经济危机、特别是第二次世界大战之后,西方社会收入两极分化曾一度得到有效控制。20世纪80年代以来新的一波两极分化与这一时期兴起的新自由主义思潮密切相关。新自由主义完全否定政府在社会经济发展中的积极作用,认为市场能够解决所有问题。其结果必然会造成新的社会撕裂,引发一系列社会问题,甚至社会动荡。因此,控制贫富分化必然会成为西方各国政府不得不接受的选择。With the rise of the knowledge-based economy and the accelerated pace of globalization, the trend of income polarization in Western societies and the world at large has intensified. Polarization has severely torn Western capitalist societies and seriously constrained the continued functioning of the capitalist mode of production. The income polarization in the West was once effectively controlled after the capitalist world economic crisis of 1929-1933, especially after the Second World War, and the new wave of polarization since the 1980s has been closely related to the rise of neoliberalism during this period. Neoliberalism completely denies the positive role of government in social and economic development and believes that the market can solve all problems. This will inevitably cause new social divisions and a series of social problems and even social unrest. Therefore, containing the polarization between the rich and the poor will become the inevitable choice that Western governments have to accept.
