In reality, there are three kinds of “shadow” activities, all of which are obvious, operate in plain sight, and could be controlled in a straightforward and responsible fashion. Whether we have the political will to implement effective controls is, as always, another question – in large part because the big banks are very powerful and they would like the shadows to remain as shadowy as they are now.
这中危言耸听我们已经耳熟能详了。在现实中，有三种“影子”行为，它们都一目了然、明目张胆，可以用直截了当又可靠的形式予以控制。我们是否有政治意愿实施有效控制则是——永远都是这样——另一个问题，很大程度上，这是因为大银行很有权力，并且它们希望影子永不变。
