One factor diminishing the likelihood of governments intervening more directly in markets is that the recent crisis seems to have discredited government as much as it discredited the financial sector. During the Great Depression, matters were different.
一个减少政府更直接干预市场的因素是最近这场危机不但令民众丧失了对金融部门的信任，也极大打击了政府的威信。但当年大萧条时情况可不是这样的。经济崩溃使得民众对私人部门和市场失去了信心，但却令政府的号召力不断上升。比如在1930年代的美国，罗斯福新政就是受到民众普遍欢迎的。
