WASHINGTON, DC – Unlike in the past, there probably will not be large protests at the upcoming Annual Meetings of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, or at the subsequent World Trade Organization meeting of trade ministers in Bali. But that is not because these international institutions are perceived as effective and legitimate.
发自华盛顿特区——跟过去不同，在即将召开的国际货币基金组织和世界银行年会，或者是巴厘岛世界贸易组织贸易部长会议期间或许不会出现大规模抗议行动。但这并不是因为人们觉得这些国际机构变得更高效或者更具合法性了。其真正的原因是相对于十年之前，在更为庞大的市场力量面前它们看上去更加渺小而虚弱，根本不值一提了。
