CAMBRIDGE – The economics profession was arguably the first casualty of the 2008-2009 global financial crisis. After all, its practitioners failed to anticipate the calamity, and many appeared unable to say anything useful when the time came to formulate a response.
剑桥—经济学界也许是2008—2009年全球金融危机的第一受害人。毕竟，经济学实践家没有预见到这次灾难，当需要对此作出反应时，许多经济学家也提不出任何有用的建议。但是，与全球经济一样，有理由相信这门学科正在逐渐进步。
