The IMF’s perceived “democratic deficit” is a serious challenge to the Fund’s political legitimacy and to its ability to effectively stabilize crisis situations. But let’s recognize that real democracy is only going to come when middle-income developing countries are prepared to back up their lofty rhetoric with hard cash.
我对此完全赞同。IMF公认的“民主赤字”是对该组织的政治合法性和在危机中保持稳定的能力的严峻挑战。但是让我们都要明确一点，即只有当中等收入的发展中国家准备好用硬钱来兑现其高谈阔论时，真正的民主才会到来。
