BERKELEY – Ideas matter. That is the lesson of Hall of Mirrors, the American economist Barry Eichengreen’s chronicle of the two biggest economic crises of the past 100 years: the twentieth century’s Great Depression and the ongoing Great Recession, from which we are still struggling ineffectually to recover.
伯克利—思想很重要。这是美国经济学家巴里·艾肯格林（Barry Eichengreen）对过去100年的两次最大经济危机所做的历史记录《镜厅》（Hall of Mirrors）给我们的教训。这两次危机一次是二十世纪的大萧条，另一次是现在仍没有结束、我们仍在近乎徒劳地竭力从中复苏的大衰退。
