The second undesirable possibility – that governments with little spending capacity to assuage public anger turn against democracy and free expression – is also remote for now. Democratic institutions in industrial countries are stronger, and have deeper roots, than was the case in the 1930s.
第二个负面情况——那些没有足够财力来花钱平息民众愤怒的政府转而开始压制民主和言论自由——出现的几率目前还很小。相对与1930年代来说，发达国家的民主体制已经发展得相当根深蒂固了。
