The response of governments to that crisis has shaped much of the region’s economic policymaking ever since. If Asia is to avoid another crisis on a similar scale, or lost decades of growth, its governments will need to embrace the type of all-encompassing reforms that Japan is undertaking.
十六年前，在投机冲击面前，泰国政府决定泰铢自由浮动，亚洲金融危机就此爆发。各国政府对这场危机的应对措施在很大程度上决定了此后亚洲地区的经济决策。如果亚洲想避免类似程度的危机再次发生，或避免几十年的无增长时期，那么其政府就需要实施像日本正在做的全面改革。照此看，安倍经济学人人应该效而仿之。
