A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
政策
Policy
Well, I think as long as people are talking about stimulus, I think the Fed will be thinking about cutting rates because monetary policy is the better way to go because you can turn it on and turn it off.
我认为,只要人们还在谈论刺激计划,美联储就会考虑降息,因为货币政策是更好的选择,因为你可以随时启动或关闭货币政策。
Intelligent policies will be largely self-regulating in the sense that the system of incentives and standards makes it absolutely ludicrous to not move towards clean, internalized systems of cost and production.

Though every legal task demands this skill, it is especially important in the effort to frame public policy in a way that is properly responsive to human needs and predicaments. The question is always: How will the general rule work in practice?

Over the last decade, economists seemed to share a broad consensus about economic policy, with the old splits between monetarists and Keynesians apparently being settled by events. But the Great Recession of the last two years has changed everything.

Popular as Keynesian fiscal policy may be, many economists are skeptical that it works. They argue that fine-tuning the economy is a virtually impossible task, and that fiscal-stimulus programs are usually too small, and arrive too late, to make a difference.
尽管凯恩斯主义的财政政策可能很受欢迎,但许多经济学家对其是否有效持怀疑态度。他们认为,对经济进行微调实际上是一项不可能完成的任务,而财政刺激计划通常规模太小,实施得太晚,无法发挥作用。
