LONDON – I may not be the only finance professor who, when setting essay topics for his or her students, has resorted to a question along the following lines: “In your view, was the global financial crisis caused primarily by too much government intervention in financial markets, or by too little?” When confronted with this either/or question, my most recent class split three ways.
伦敦—我想必绝非唯一这样的金融学教授：在为学生设定文论主题时，会提出诸如“在你看来，全球金融危机的主因是政府对金融市场的干预太多还是太少？”这样的问题。在面对这类是/还是问题时，我最近带的一批学生分成了三个阵营。
