Frankly, I am always struck by US economists’ reluctance to discuss the structural problems that caused the current crisis, and that hinder America’s recovery. Most seem to believe that the crisis result from bad monetary policy and lax financial-sector regulation; some even blame the savings accumulated by Asian countries, especially China.
中国经济受着结构性问题的妨碍，而美国也面临着类似的挑战。坦白讲，有一点我一直感到颇为诧异，那就是美国经济学家不愿意讨论引起当前危机并阻碍美国复苏的结构性问题。似乎大部分美国经济学家都认为危机的原因是货币政策失当和金融部门监管过松；一些人甚至指责亚洲国家（特别是中国）的储蓄引起了危机。
