Because the dominant narrative still maintains that the pre-crisis period was normal, at least in terms of the growth pattern in the real economy, the perceived challenge is to restore growth according to the pre-crisis pattern. Unfortunately, this narrative cannot explain why, particularly in the advanced countries, growth is faltering and the employment engines have largely shut down.
但产生于危机前增长模式的预期的调整速度并没有那么快。主流观点仍认为危机前的时期属于常态，至少从实体经济增长模式的角度看是如此，因此人们认定当前挑战在于用危机前模式重塑增长。不幸的是，这一观点无法解释（特别是发达国家）为何增长迟迟得不到提振，与此同时，就业引擎早已停止运转了。
