Unfortunately, so far the world seems to have learned very little from the recent financial crisis. In fact, the situation today is just as dangerous as it was in 2007, with the United States now worried by its anemic economic recovery, Europe paralyzed by fears for the survival of its currency union, and emerging markets wrestling with asset-price bubbles.
普林斯顿——危机，尤其是严重的危机，常常可以让人吃一堑长一智。不幸，最近这场金融危机之后，世人并没有多少长进。实际上，今日之情形同2007年时一般险恶：美国经济复苏有气无力，令人心焦；欧洲货币联盟生死未卜，各国束手；而新兴市场，则在苦斗资产价格泡沫。
