There are few areas in which government intervention is known to create value: reducing the devastating effects of a bank run is one. Only a government that is sufficiently powerful, in terms of legal authority and solvency, can do so.
其实政府介入在某些领域还是有用的：比如减少银行挤提所造成的灾难性影响。但只有一个在管治权威和偿付能力方面足够强大的政府才能做到这一点。不幸的是，世界上还几乎没有能满足这两点的国家。因此授权世界货币基金组织去接管陷入困境的跨国银行可以满足这些条件——并且令这场最糟糕的噩梦离我们而去。
