BERKELEY – When it became clear in late 2008 that the global economy was headed toward a crash at least as dangerous as the one that had initiated the Great Depression, I was alarmed, but also hopeful. We had, after all, seen this before.
伯克利——2008年底，当我意识到全球经济距离曾诱发与大萧条同样危险的崩溃越来越近时，我在震惊之余同时又充满希望。毕竟，我们曾有过类似的经历。而且我们也曾找到过减轻损失的方法；不幸的是，决策者却将其束之高阁。
