I do not believe in Karl Marx’s iron laws of history. Yet one historical law does seem to apply: in an immense economic crisis, the voters stick with the people whose economic competence they have traditionally trusted – that is, the very people who led them to ruin.
我无法解释这种变化。我并不相信卡尔·马克思的历史铁律。但有一条历史规律确实在起作用：在大规模经济危机期间，选民们继续追随经济管理能力一直为他们所信任的政党，而正是这些人把他们引向了毁灭。
