By Michael Sandel. 《钱买不到的东西:市场的道德局限性》,作者:迈克尔桑德尔。 MOST policymakers, and the economists who advise them, believe that the rich Westerneconomies have suffered a mechanical malfunction. With the right monetary, fiscal andregulatory tools, the growth machine will eventually whirr into life. Others think the West strue malaise is not mechanical but moral: a love of money, markets and material things. 在大多数当权者以及向他们建言的经济学家看来,富裕的西方经济遭遇了机制性的失调。只要运用正确的货币和财政政策及监管工具,经济增长机器终究会恢复生机。但另有一些人认为,西方世界的真正病因不是源自机制,而是源自道德:是对金钱、市场和物质生活的追逐。 |
