At that point, global policymakers got religion and started to use most of the weapons in their arsenal: vast fiscal-policy easing; conventional and unconventional monetary expansion; trillions of dollars in liquidity support, recapitalization, guarantees, and insurance to stem the liquidity and credit crunch; and, finally, massive support to emerging-market economies. In the last two months alone, one can count more than 150 different policy interventions around the world.
当时，世界各国的政策制定者们开始变得虔诚起来，为了挽救经济几乎使出了浑身解数：大幅放宽财政政策；常规和非常规的货币扩张；在流动性支持、资本调整、保证和保险上投入数万亿的资金来阻止流动性枯竭和信贷紧缩；给予新兴市场经济体大量的支持。仅仅在过去的两个月里，全世界对经济就有150多种不同的政策干预。
