The contemporary European solution seems to be repeating the same time-buying tactics of the lost decade of the 1980’s in the developing world. There is the same combination of international support, highly unpopular domestic austerity measures (which are bound to set off major protests), and the apparent absolution of banks from financial responsibility for problems that they produced.
欧洲眼下所采取的办法，同20世纪80年代所谓“失去的十年”中，那些发展中国家所采取的拖延战术，似乎如出一辙。也是同样的组合：对外寻求国际支援，对内强推削减措施（必然引发抗议示威），并公然免除银行业的责任，尽管它们制造了危机。
