The long-term stable growth of the western economy was broken,and it is mired into the so-called " high-income trap". This paper argues that the reasons why developed countries fall into the " high income trap" can be summarized as three aspects: internal factors,external factors and fundamental reasons. On this basis,this paper analyzes the response strategies and effects of developed countries,in order to provide a reference for our country to be a high-income country while maintaining sustained and stable economic growth.展开更多
