MEDFORD, MASSACHUSETTS – As the latest G-20 meeting of finance ministers starts in Cairns, Australia, the Legion of Gloom is at it again. Their conventional wisdom is that “the system” – global governance structures ranging from the World Trade Organization and the G-20 to the major central banks – is badly broken and in desperate need of repair.
梅福德，马萨诸塞州—随着二十国集团财政部长会议在澳大利亚凯恩斯召开，忧郁军团（Legion of Gloom）再次齐聚。他们的传统智慧是，“系统”——从世界贸易组织和二十国集团到各主要中央银行的全球治理结构——遭到了严重破坏，急需修补。事实上，全球经济秩序在2008年以来运转的相当良好。
