第二段大意：

雖然經濟學理論表明，區域間的不平等將會減少貧窮地區，但實際上貧富地區間的差別將越來越大。

勢力帶來的是分歧，從而使得巨頭公司和其它公司間的差距越拉越大。

即便區域間的不平等越來越加劇，人們卻變得越來越不愿意在區域間遷移了。主要還是政策原因，包括住房成本，養老金等政策。

事與愿違的是，那些旨在幫助窮人的政策卻反而無意中加深了落后地區的困境。

Although economy theory suggests that regional inequality will diminish poorer places, affluent places are pulling away from poor ones.

Big forces bring divergence, which make the large scale companies pull away the others left behind.

Even regional disparity widen, people are becoming less mobile. The main culprit is the poor policy, including the soaring housing cost and the pension policy.

Perversely, policies to help the poor unintentionally exacerbate the plight of poorer places.
