Should they explicitly guarantee large financial institutions’ liabilities and/or classes of assets? Should they buy up assets at what they believe is a discount from their long-run values, or buy up assets that private investors are unwilling to trade, even at a premium above their likely long-run values?
难道政府应该利用出售债券来增加现金的供应，从而提升短期的利率？还是应该直接或间接地雇佣失业工人，从而加大政府的投入和开支？还是政府直接对大型金融机构的信用和资产进行担保？还是应该以折扣的价格购买那些从长期来看值得投资的资产？还是以溢价来购买私人投资者不愿意购买的资产？政府 应该收购或是国有化银行么？还是应该通过传统的开放市场的方式，不停地印制钞票来提供足够的现金?美国是采取以上什么的方法？其他国家又是怎么做的呢？
