Following the fall of the Soviet Union, most high capital industries were overtaken by oligarchs, who became extremely wealthy off of former state resources, while shutting out any potential free market competition. In fact, of Russia's 77 billionaires, one of the richest made his fortune by selling shares of government industries for private loans, through a government sanctioned program.
苏联解体后，大多数高资本产业都被寡头取代，这些寡头凭借前国家资源变得极为富有，同时排除了任何潜在的自由市场竞争。事实上，在俄罗斯的77位亿万富翁中，最富有的人之一是通过政府批准的一项计划、出售政府工业股份换取私人贷款而发家致富的。
However, it's not all bad news. According to the Economist, the share of crony billionaire industries has fallen by as much as 16% in the past two years, due in part to a global crackdown on the worst forms of crony capitalism, such as corruption.
但也不全是坏消息。据《经济学人》报道，在过去两年中，裙带亿万富翁的产业份额下降了16%，部分原因是全球对腐败等最恶劣形式的裙带资本主义的打击。
And while this share of so-called "crony wealth" is consistent among wealthy countries, developing countries have managed to diversify their wealth away from those industries. Since 2008, the share of wealth has fallen from 7% to just 4%, an incredible leap considering how much easier it is to cull government favor in less developed regions.
虽然这种所谓的“裙带财富”在富裕国家中所占比例是一致的，但发展中国家已成功实现了财富多元化，不再局限于这些行业。2008年以来，财富占比从7%将至4%，考虑到在欠发达地区剔除政府青睐对象要容易得多，因此这是一个令人难以置信的飞跃。
The Economist ranks Donald Trump at number 104 in "individual cronyism", due to his business dealings in real estate and casinos. However, the United States itself only ranks as number sixteenth worldwide.
《经济学人》将唐纳德·特朗普的“个人任人唯亲”指数排在第104位，因为他在房地产和赌场有商业往来。然而，美国本身只排在世界第16位。
Trump favoring certain industries over others has already begun to happen, just how far it will go remains to be seen. But while Trump may use his presidency to enrich the businesses he prefers, many worry he may use it to enrich himself and his family.
特朗普偏向某些行业胜过其他行业的事情已经开始发生，究竟会走多远还有待观察。不过，虽然特朗普可能会利用他的总统任期来使他喜欢的企业更为富有，但许多人担心他可能会利用它来使自己和家人更为富有。
