Political leadership at such a moment demands a Churchillian accent. It needs to be explained why the euro remains the best protection there is against inflation, the most dangerous social ill of all; why government stimulus will not work and never actually has delivered sustained growth; and why a new equilibrium between welfare and economic dynamism – based on less public debt and more private investment – must be established.
而在这种情况下，政治领导人需要有一种丘吉尔式的作风。这需要清楚地解释为什么欧元依然是防止通货膨胀这种最危险的社会危机的最佳工具；为什么政府刺激计划起不了作用且未能提供可持续增长；还有就是为什么必须在福利和经济增长动力之间——就是更少的公共债务和更多的私人投资之间——建立一个新的平衡。
