Eichengreen is my friend, teacher, and patron, and his book is to my mind the best explanation to date of why policymakers in Europe and the United States have reacted to the most dramatic economic collapse in almost four generations with half-hearted measures and half-finished interventions.
艾肯格林是我的朋友、老师和导师，在我看来，他的著作是迄今为止对欧洲和美国决策者在应对近四代人以来最严重的经济崩溃的过程中措施心不在焉、干预半途而废的原因的最佳解释。
