Former French president Valéry Giscard d’Estaing once famously complained about America’s “exorbitant privilege.” D’Estaing was incensed that the US seemed to be able to flood the world with dollar currency and debt without ever seeming to pay a price in terms of higher inflation or interest rates.
法国前总统德斯坦曾经引人注目地抱怨美国的“嚣张特权”。美国似乎可以让世界充斥美元货币和债务，而不必为更高的通货膨胀或者利率而付出代价。德斯坦对此十分气恼。
