A world in which the US has a proven record of honoring the trust that is required of it to play the role of global economic hegemon is a much better world for the US than one in which it is not trusted. Simply put, the US must manage the global economy for the collective common good, or else confront a world in which global macroeconomic management results from race-to-the-bottom national policy struggles.
一个美国拥有扮演全球经济盟主所需的不负众望的可靠记录的世界要比一个美国不具备如此资质的世界更美好。简而言之，美国必须为了全球的集体福祉去管理全球经济，要不然就将遭遇一个全球宏观经济管理被无下限国家政策竞争所左右的世界。
