We all have good reason to be grateful that US Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke is an expert on the Great Depression and the authorities’ flawed policy responses then, rather than in the finer points of dynamic stochastic general equilibrium theory. As a result, he was ready to adopt unconventional measures when the crisis erupted, and was persuasive in influencing his colleagues.
会上提出了一些明确而切实的建议。例如应该增加更多的经济史教学。我们完全应该庆幸美联储主席本·伯南克（Ben Bernanke）是一位研究当年大萧条以及政府错误政策回应的专家，而不是拘泥于动态随机均衡理论某些细节方面的学者。因此当危机爆发时他已经准备好采取非常规措施，并在影响同僚方面发挥了自身的说服力。
