The so-called “Chicago School” has mounted a robust defense of its rational expectations-based approach, rejecting the notion that a rethink is required. The Nobel laureate economist Robert Lucas has argued that the crisis was not predicted because economic theory predicts that such events cannot be predicted.
但是这并不意味着大多数同行能接受这些已经非常温和的建议。所谓的“芝加哥学派”对其以理性期望为基础的研究方法展开了坚定的辩护，认为反思不是必要的。诺贝尔奖得主，经济学家罗伯特卢卡斯（Robert Lucas）则认为经济危机是不可预测的，因为经济学理论认为这样的事件是不可预测的。所以一切都是合理的。
