In the US, for example, no politician is anxious to say that home-mortgage deductions should be eliminated, or that dividend payments should be tax-free. Likewise, developing countries should accelerate the pace of economic reform, and equity markets in too many emerging economies are like the Wild West, with unclear rules and lax enforcement.
但不幸的是，改变发达国家金融系统对债务根深蒂固的偏好是非常不容易的。比如说在美国，没有政治家乐意宣称房屋抵押贷款减税政策应该被取消，或是分红所得应该免税。同样，发展中国家应当加快金融改革进程，而许多新兴经济体的权益市场简直就像当年无法无天的美国西部，既缺乏明确规则，法规的执行也相当松懈。
