Nicolas Sarkozy arrived at the Group of 20 summit having said: “The all-powerful market that is always right is finished.” The French president left it proclaiming that “a page has been turned” on the Anglo-Saxon financial model. Whether or not the page has really been turned depends on the construction of a practical successor to free-market economics, a process that entrenched interests in America and Britain would be well-advised to encourage if they wish to remain centre stage.
尼古拉·薩科吉(Nicolas Sarkozy)到達20國(G20)集團峯會時曾說:「一貫正確的全能市場完了。」法國總統離開時宣稱,盎格魯-撒克遜式的金融模式「已成爲翻過的一頁」。這一頁是否真的翻過去了,取決於自由市場經濟學切合實際的繼任理論建設如何。如果美英兩國地位牢固的利益階層希望留在舞臺中央,就最好支持這一進程。
