All of this is true, but, given the possibility of a major overhaul of US corporate taxation, which President Barack Obama has proposed, we should revisit the conventional wisdom concerning the supposedly weak connection between corporate taxation and the financial crisis. Indeed, in my view, policymakers, academics, and the media have rejected too resolutely the idea that corporate taxation played no more than a minor role.
所有这些都是事实，但是，美国公司税制有望迎来重大改革——总统奥巴马已经提出了计划——因此我们应该重新审视关于公司税和金融危机无甚关系的传统智慧。事实上，在我看来，决策者、学者和媒体否认公司税制起着很大作用的做法太过武断。
