To be sure, the challenges facing the world's economic policy makers during the next several years will be different from those that they have faced since the collapse of the NASDAQ bubble. The risks associated with inflation are probably less dangerous than those generated by collapsing output and the threat of deflation.
可以肯定的是，未来几年中，世界经济政策制订者们所面临的挑战将与NASDAQ泡沫破灭后的挑战不同。通货膨胀带来的危险可能会比产出降低及通货紧缩的危险小。但是，经过20世纪90年代的教训，这并不表示即将到来的挑战更容易应付。
