Krugman seems to make much of the fact that the UK did not bounce back even more strongly from a larger output decline between the fourth quarter of 2007 and the fourth quarter of 2010 – a fall that occurred before the Cameron government took office. That is true, and measured UK productivity growth has remained low, but nobody can be sure why.
克鲁格曼大做文章的一个事实是英国没有从2007年四季度到2010年四季度之间更大规模的产出下降的基础上实现更强劲的反弹——这一产出下降发生在卡梅伦政府上台之前。诚然，并且英国测得生产率增长也仍然很低，但没人知道确切原因。
