然而，教育不平等现象以如此赤裸裸的方式出现在经济学专业，而非其他学科，这一事实本身就带有双重悲剧内涵。首先，经济学专业的学生往往能找到高薪的工作。其次，经济学家在政策制定中也有着举足轻重的作用。
If young people from more marginalised upbringings were better represented in economics， they would also be better represented in the corridors of power. But they are not. And you don't need a degree in economics to understand the consequences of that.
如果较边缘化背景出身的年轻人能够在经济学领域具有更大的影响力，他们也就能在高层决策中扩大影响力。但事实并非如此。而且就算没有经济学学位，相信你也能理解这种现状会带来怎样的后果。
