Mainstream economic models were discredited by the crisis because they simply did not admit of its possibility. And training that prioritized technique over intuition and theoretical elegance over real-world relevance did not prepare economists to provide the kind of practical policy advice needed in exceptional circumstances.
主流经济学模型因为危机而信誉扫地，因为这些模型根本不承认有可能发生危机。经济学的训练强调技术甚于直觉，强调理论优美性甚于真实世界相关性，这让经济学家无法给出反常条件下的实用政策建议。
