LONDON – Very soon after the magnitude of the 2008 financial crisis became clear, a lively debate began about whether central banks and regulators could – and should – have done more to head it off. The traditional view, notably shared by former US Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, is that any attempt to prick financial bubbles in advance is doomed to failure.
发自伦敦——在2008年金融危机的严重性逐渐明晰了之后，针对央行和监管者是否可以——以及应当——有更多举措去以阻止危机的辩论也逐渐升温。由美国前联邦储备委员会主席艾伦·格林斯潘为代表的传统观点认为，任何试图提前刺破金融泡沫的举动都是注定失败的。各国中央银行的大部分工作还是如何收拾残局。
