In terms of the US public interest – and that of the world – it is very important that whoever President Barack Obama nominates to succeed Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke when his term expires at the beginning of 2014 is from the Macroeconomic Camp. The world does not need a bankers’ central banker any more today than it did five years ago.
从美国——以及全世界——公众利益角度讲，不管总统奥巴马任命谁接任伯南克出任美联储主席，一个极为重要的要点是他在2014年初的卸任是以宏观经济阵营成员的身份。与五年前相比，世界已不再需要银行的中央银行。
