CAMBRIDGE – Inflation – its causes and its connection to monetary policy and financial crises – was the theme of this year’s international conference of central bankers and academics in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

美国剑桥—通货膨胀——它的原因以及它与货币政策和金融危机的关系——是今年怀俄明州杰克森霍尔（Jackson Hole）央行行长和学者国际会议的主题。但是，尽管决策者渴望为潜在未来物价稳定风险做好准备之心可以理解，但他们并未把这些担忧置于最近全球层面通胀发展的环境（或置于历史角度）中考虑。
