To be sure, the IADB – never as stodgy as the Bretton Woods twins, but still a traditional international financial bureaucracy – does not speak of industrial policies; it uses the politically correct phrase “productive development policies” (PDPs). Yet the message is clear: in Latin America, the state and public policy should have a role in deciding what gets produced.
这是值得欢迎的发展趋势。平心而论，泛美开发银行虽然不像布雷顿森林体系诞生的两大机构那样顽固，但也属于传统国际金融官僚，没有产业政策置喙；它使用了政治正确的用词：“生产性发展政策”。但其中的信号是明确的：在拉丁美洲，公共政策应该在决定生产什么方面起到作用。一代人之前，这一信号会被视为异端。如今，这已是常识。
