Though developed countries’ authorities intervened strongly in the aftermath of the global financial crisis in 2008, launching significant fiscal- and monetary-stimulus measures, many of their structural shortcomings remain unresolved. “Abenomics” in Japan has yet to yield results, and the European Central Bank is following in the footsteps of America and Japan, pursuing quantitative easing in an effort to shore up demand.
但是，外部情景会更加令人沮丧。尽管发达国家当局在2008年全球金融危机后进行了强力干预，启动了大规模财政和货币刺激手段，但很多发达国家的结构缺陷仍没有解决。日本的“安倍经济学”收效甚微，欧洲央行正在步美国和日本的后尘试图用量化宽松提振需求。
