BERKELEY – Broadly speaking, for at least 115 years (and possibly longer) – that is, at least since the publication of the Swedish economist Knut Wicksell’s Geldzins und Güterpreis (Interest and Prices) in 1898 – economists have split into two camps with respect to what a central bank is and the purposes it should serve.
伯克利—从广义上说，关于什么是中央银行以及中央银行应该服务于什么目的这个问题，经济学家分裂为两个阵营至少已经有115年（或许还要长）的历史了，也就是说，至少从瑞典经济学家维克塞尔的《利息和价格》（Geldzins und Güterpreis）一书出版时就开始了。
