Use of English 2

1、单选题:
Capitalism has suffered a series of mighty blows to its reputation over the past decade. The sense of a system rigged to benefit the owners of capital ­­­  1   the expense of workers is profound. In 2016 a survey found that more than half of young Americans no longer  2   capitalism. This loss of faith is dangerous, but is also   3  . Today’s capitalism does have a real problem, just not ­­­  4   that protectionists and populists like to talk about. Life has become far too comfortable for some firms in the ­­­  5   economy, while, in the new economy, tech firms have rapidly built market power. A revolution is indeed needed—one that ­­­  6   competition, forcing down abnormally high profits today and ­­­  7   that innovation can thrive tomorrow.‎Countries have acted to ­­­  8   competition before. At the start of the 20th century America broke up ­­­  9   in railways and energy. After the second world war West Germany put the creation of ­­­  10   markets at the centre of its nation-building project. The establishment of the European single market, a(n) ­­­  11   championed by Margaret Thatcher, prised open stale ­­­  12   markets to ­­­  13   foreign firms. Ronald Reagan fostered competition across ­­­  14   of the American economy.‎A similar ­­­  15   is needed today. Since 1997 market concentration has ­­­  16   in two-thirds of American industries. ­­­  17   of the economy is made up of industries in which four firms control more than two-thirds of the market. In a healthy economy you would expect profits to be competed down, but the free cash-flow of companies is 76% above its 50-year average, relative ­­­  18   GDP. In Europe the trend is similar, ­­­  19   less extreme. The average market share of the biggest four firms in each industry has risen by three percent since 2000. On both continents, ­­­  20   firms have become harder to dislodge.‎​1. ‎
