If nothing works, it will be time to sprinkle the country with what Milton Friedman called “helicopter money” – that is, put purchasing power directly into people’s pockets, by giving every household a spending voucher with an expiration date. This would at least keep the economy afloat pending the development of the longer-term investment program.
如果什么都无法奏效，那么就是时候朝国内抛洒弗里德曼所谓的“直升飞机钞票”了——也就是说，通过向每个家庭发放过期作废的消费券来直接增加人民购买力。这至少能够在长期投资项目开发期内维持经济增长。
