【单选题】{{B}}Passage Three{{/B}}
This contradiction is not easily explained by the dominant neoclassical economic discourse of our time. Nor is it resolved by neoconservative social policy. More helpful is the one book under review: James K. Galbraith’sCreated Unequal, a Keynesian analysis of increasing wage inequality.
James K. Galbraith provides a multicausal analysis that blames the current free market monetary policy for the increasing wage inequality. He calls for a rebellion in economic analysis and policy and for a reapplication of Keynesian macroeconomics to solve the problem. InCreated Unequal, Galbraith successfully debunks the conservative contention that wage inequality is necessary because the new skill-based technological innovation requires educated workers who are in short supply. For Galbraith, this is a fantasy. He also critiques their two other assertions: first, that global competition requires an increase in inequality and that the maintenance of inequality is necessary to fight inflation. He points to transfer payments that are mediated by the state: payment to the poor in the form of welfare is minor relative to payment to the elderly in the form of social security or to the rich in the form of interest on public and private debt.
Galbraith minimizes the social indicators of race, gender, and class and tells us that these are not important in understanding wage inequality. What is important is Keynesian macroeconomics. To make this point, he introduces a sectoral analysis of the economy.. Here knowledge is dominant (the K-sector) and the producers of consumption goods (theC-sector) are in decline. The third sector is large and low paid (the S-sector). The K-sector controls the new technologies and wields monopoly power.Both wages and profit decline in the other two sectors.As a result of monopoly, power inequality increases.
B．the dominant control of the new technologies by a particular sector
C．the powerful control of the K-sector over theC-and S-sectors
D．the ignorance of the social indicators of race, gender, and class in understanding inequality

网考网解析：
这是一道词义题。文章最后一段指出；在现代社会，知识(K成分)占主导地位，消费品生产者(C成分)的地位在下降，第三个成分(S成分)人数众多，收入却低；K成分控制着新技术，掌握垄断力量； 由于垄断的原因，权力不平等的现象在增加。这说明，该词指的是“某个成分控制新技术”。B说“某个特殊成分主控新技术”，这与文章的意思符合。A和C明显与文章的意思不符；与D有关的信息是该段的第一句话，文中是说“加尔布雷思淡化了种族、性别和阶级这些社会因素，他告诉我们，这些因素对于理解工资不平等都不重要”，这与该词指代的内容没有关系，所以D不对。 document.getElementById("warp").style.display="none"; document.getElementById("content").style.display="block"; 查看试题解析出处>>
