The International Monetary Fund was founded, in part, to prevent precisely this type of beggar-thy-neighbor economic strategy, which resulted in “competitive devaluations” during the 1930s. Unfortunately, the IMF in recent years has proved unable or unwilling to do so.
国际货币基金组织（IMF）的成立从某种程度上就是为了防止这一导致了20世纪30年代“竞争性贬值”的以邻为壑经济战略。不幸的是，近几年来，IMF根本无法或不愿意这样做。
