Silence can be presumed to be tacit acceptance that rapid increases in long-term asset price are warranted. National leaders must speak out, and they must match their words with concrete actions, to help signal to the public that the speculative bubble cannot be expected to continue.
幸运的是，人们似乎也十分信任他们的领导。而正因为如此，国家领袖们在投机氛围蔚然成风时不能袖手旁观也才更为重要。沉默可能被理解为默许，也就是允许长期资产价格的快速上涨。国家领导人必须大声疾呼，必须采取具体的行动，以便向公众展示投机泡沫不能再继续下去。
