Unfortunately, this has been far from the case in America (and in Europe, where the situation is worse). Moreover, US policymakers in the last few weeks have been more interested in pointing fingers at Europe and China than in recognizing and responding to the paradigm shifts that are at the root of the country’s economic problems and mounting social challenges.
不幸的是，美国（以及欧洲，那里的情况比美国还遭）的现状离这一步还差得很远。此外，最近数周，美国决策者对向欧洲和中国指手画脚更感兴趣，而没有把精力放在识别和应对范式变化上，而范式变化才是美国经济问题和社会挑战日渐艰巨的根源。
