Alan Greenspan does not like the Dodd-Frank financial regulation act. His warning against ill-considered regulation (published in Wednesday’s Financial Times) is distorted by the pro-market ideology that blinded him to the pre-crash excesses in financial markets. But the former chairman of the Federal Reserve is on more solid ground when he praises finance’s contribution to economic growth.
艾倫?格林斯潘(Alan Greenspan)不喜歡多德-弗蘭克(Dodd-Frank)金融監(jiān)管法案。他昨日在英國《金融時(shí)報(bào)》上發(fā)表文章,對(duì)考慮欠妥的監(jiān)管發(fā)出了警告。他這種警告受到了“親市場”理念的扭曲,正是這種理念蒙蔽了他的雙眼,讓他對(duì)金融市場崩潰前的各種過度行為視而不見。但這位美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)(Fed)前主席贊揚(yáng)金融業(yè)對(duì)經(jīng)濟(jì)增長的貢獻(xiàn),卻有著更充分的理由。
