Alright. Well if larger markets increase the incentive to produce new ideas, how do we maximize that incentive?
好。那么，如果市場越大，創新的動力越大，我們如何能最大限度地發揮這一動力呢？
It's by having one world market, by globalizing the world. The way I like to put this is: one idea. Ideas are meant to be shared,
通過統一世界市場，通過世界全球化。我喜歡的說法是，“同一個想法”，想法就是為了分享，
so one idea can serve one world, one market. One idea, one world, one market.
就是說，同一個想法可以為同一個世界服務，為同一個市場服務。同一個想法，同一個世界，同一個市場。
Well how else can we create new ideas? That's one reason. Globalize trade.
除此之外，還有什么渠道來創造新的想法呢？這些動力包括全球化貿易。
How else can we create new ideas? Well, more idea creators. Now idea creators, they come from all walks of life.
還有什么別的辦法呢？恩，更多的創新者。來自社會各階層的創新者。

The United States has been an idea leader. A large fraction of those people are in the United States.

But the U.S. is losing its idea leadership. And for that I am very grateful. That is a good thing.
但是，美國開始失去它在創新方面的領導地位。對此我表示衷心感謝。這是一件好事。
It is fortunate that we are becoming less of an idea leader

because for too long the United States, and a handful of other developed countries, have shouldered the entire burden of research and development.
