In Summers’s view, with which I concur, governments need to assume greater responsibility for risk-bearing, long-term planning, and investment. Indeed, those governments lucky enough to issue the world’s reserve currencies are able to take on this role without overloading future taxpayers with inordinate debt burdens.
在萨默斯看来——我也同意他的看法——政府需要承担更大的冒险、长期规划和投资责任。事实上，幸运地获得世界储备货币发行权的政府能够实现这一目标而不必让未来纳税人背上过度沉重的债务负担。
