Keynes's dictum has become the ruling wisdom of monetary policy (one of his few to survive). Governments, according to the conventional wisdom, should aim for stable prices, with a slight bias toward inflation to stimulate the “animal spirits" of businessmen and shoppers.
凯恩斯的观点已成为货币政策的圭臬（这也是他流传下来的少数思想之一）。根据传统智慧，政府应该将目标定在稳定物价，略着重于通胀，以刺激商人和购物者的“动物精神”。
