Both the institutional and the behavioral responses to a crisis are fundamentally problematical. The search for technical solutions leads to political polarization, and may produce stalemate. The search for deep human roots of the crisis, by contrast, leads to attempts to change human nature, which are futile – and also inherently much more dangerous.
如何应对经济危机，上文从机制和人类行为两个角度探讨了解决方法。这两种方法基本上都存在问题。寻找技术上的解决方案会导致政治上的两极分化，从而导致引发政治僵局的出现。相反，从人类根源的深度去研究，会引入试图去改变人性，这也当然将是徒然的，同时从深层次上来看也更具危险性。
