As in the meltdown of the 1970’s, it is easy to see how everyone benefited from the recent boom: homeowners saw their houses rising in price, social-welfare payments were expanded, and people seemed swept up in a new wave of 1960’s-style “Cool Britannia.”
同20世纪70年代时一样，今日的经济崩溃，也令所谓“人人受益”的方式显露无遗：房产所有者看到房价上涨、社会福利覆盖面有所扩大、人们陶醉在一波类似20世纪60年代“酷英伦”的潮流之中。
