But if finance continues to take a disproportionate number of the best and the brightest, there could be little British manufacturing left by 2050, and even fewer hi-tech firms than today. Anyone concerned about economic imbalances, and about excessive reliance on a volatile financial sector, will certainly hope that this aspect of the BoE’s “forward guidance” proves as unreliable as its forecasts of unemployment have been.
但如果金融继续吸引大量最聪明、最优秀的人才，2050年时英国的制造业将所剩无几，高科技公司更将是凤毛麟角。只要你担心经济失衡、担心过度依赖高波动的金融部门，你就必然会希望英格兰银行的“前瞻性指引”的这一部分就像它的失业率预测一样不靠谱。
