BARCELONA – In recent months, the dichotomy between booming financial markets, on the one hand, and sluggish economies and dysfunctional politics, on the other, has loomed large. Yet insufficient attention is being devoted to a critical factor – time, and who controls it – that could well mean the difference between an orderly global resolution of today’s growing inconsistencies and a return to a more troubled phase.
巴塞罗那—最近几个月来，二分法渐成气候——一边是繁荣的金融市场，另一边是停滞的经济和陷入瘫痪的政治。但一个关键因素没有受到足够的关注——时间，以及谁掌握着时间。这一因素极有可能意味着当前愈演愈烈的矛盾得到有序的全球解决和回到更麻烦阶段的区别。
