So the silver lining in this fracas is that it showed that economics can progress by the rules of science. No matter how far apart their political views may have been, the two sides shared a common language about what constitutes evidence and – for the most part – a common approach to resolving differences.
此次争吵的益处在于表明经济学可以按照科学定律来进行演化。无论政治观点有多大分歧，争议双方在证据的选择上有共同语言，这基本可以理解为有解决分歧的共同方法。
