Europe’s malaise, and the resulting rise of populist politics, suggests that Asia’s governments can ill afford to sit on their growth laurels. Indeed, they should heed a recent comment by Oxford University’s Pavlos Eleftheriadis about a Greek electorate “livid at being led by those who dishonestly caused the problem.”
欧洲的动荡以及由此产生的民粹主义政治的抬头表明，亚洲政府不能继续躺在增长功劳簿上睡大觉了。事实上，牛津大学教授Pavlos Eleftheriadis最近对某希腊选民的评论应该引起亚洲领导人的注意：“对接受不诚实地引发问题的人领导怒不可遏”。事实上，根据Eleftheriadis的说法，希腊税务官如今正面临着挥舞着大棒的公民。这听起来与印度何其相像。
