The hope was that, like the pre-1913 era of British overseas investment, which financed a huge amount of industrialization in the resource-rich, temperate periphery of the world economy, net capital outflows from the industrial core would finance much late twentieth and twenty-first century industrialization.
人们希望如同1913年以前的英国海外投资一样——这些英国投资在世界经济外围的资源丰富，气候温和地区扶持起了大量的工业，从核心工业国家的净资本流出可以为二十世纪和二十一世纪才工业化的地区提供资金。
