As with “the specter of Communism” that haunted Europe in Karl Marx’s famous manifesto, so today “[a]ll the powers of old Europe have entered into a holy alliance to exorcise” the specter of national debt. But statesmen who aim to liquidate the debt should recall another famous specter – the specter of revolution.
马克思著名的《共产党宣言中》中说道，“共产主义的幽灵”游荡在欧洲上空，而如今，“就欧洲的所有势力已经结成了一个神圣同盟，驱逐”国民债务的幽灵。但意在清除债务的政客们应该记住另一个著名的幽灵——革命的幽灵。
