This is a modern-day variant of the classic prescription to start tightening before inflation sets in too deeply, even if employment has not fully recovered. As William McChesney Martin, who served as Fed Chairman in the 1950’s and 1960’s, once quipped, the central bank’s job is “to take away the punch bowl just as the party gets going.”
这是在通胀过度深入之前开始实施收紧的经典手段的当代变体，即便此时就业尚未完全恢复。正如上世纪五六十年代时任美联储主席的威廉·麦克切斯尼·马丁（William McChesney Martin）所讽刺的那样，央行的工作就是“在宴会进行时把酒杯收走”。
