4、tect its own economy. It is not in charge of protecting other economies, ”he says.“ So when America goes into recession, you have antirecessionary policies. When other countries are in recession, they don't have the ability to engage in antirecessionary policies because they can't have a per

5、missive monetary policy, because money would flee . ”In person , he has the air of a philosophy professor rather than a gimlet-eyed financier. In a soft voice which bears the traces of his native Hungary, he argues that it is time to rewrite the so-called Washington consensus the cocktail of liberal

6、isation, privatisation and fiscal rectitude which the IMF2 has been preaching for 15 years.

10、ing people aware of the flaws of the system, ”he says. “ People on the street had an impact on public opinion and corporations which sell to the public responded to that. ”Because the IMF has abandoned billion dollar bailouts for troubled economies, he thinks a repeat of the Asian crisis is unlikely

11、. The fund's new“ tough love ”policy for which Argentina is the guinea pig has other consequences. The bailouts were a welfare system for Wall Street, with western taxpayers rescuing the banks from the consequences of unwise lending to emerging economies. Now the IMF has drawn a line in the sand

12、, credit to poor countries is drying up. “ It has created a new problem the inadequacy of the flow of capital from centre to the periphery, ”he says.The one economy Soros is not losing any sleep about is the U. S.“ I am much more positive about the underlying economy than I am about the market, beca

I have not yet seen an economy in recession when you are gearing up for war. Hungary.译文：金融大鳄乔治索罗斯在十年前的那个9 月份狙击英镑迫使英国退出欧洲汇率机制的投机商乔治 索罗斯有一项使命 利用他大约五十

18、亿英镑的财产和他的名声来帮助解决他所认为的全球化失败问题。一个在全球金融市场上的投机大赚几十亿的人会支持反全球化运动, 这对很多人来说极具讽刺意味。很明显, 对于每天在各国之间流淌的大量资金给经济脆弱国家造成的损害, 索罗斯从心底感到震惊。索罗斯说:“ 美国管理国际经济体系是为了爱护本国利益, 它并不负责爱护其他国家的经济。因此, 当美国陷入衰退后, 美国会出台反衰退政策。而其他国家陷入衰退时, 却无力这样做, 因为一旦这些国家实行自由开放的金融政策, 资金就会外流。”索罗斯本人并不像一个目光敏锐的金融家, 他更具有哲学教授的气质。带着匈牙利母语腔调, 他用柔软的嗓音提出主见: 现在是修改所谓

19、的“ 华盛顿共识”的时候了。那是国际货币基金组织十五年来宣扬的自由化、私有化和财政透亮的一种混合机制。他认为, 发展中国家即使执行特别合理的政策, 也不能再自由地限制本国经济。他援引巴西的例子说, 尽管巴西实行了浮动汇率制和可控国债, 但它向资本市场借款还是付出了比正常条件下高出十倍的成本。索罗斯在柏林墙倒塌后一段时间内向俄罗斯供应的救济曾一度超过美国政府的救济。他坚决地实施自己宣扬的观点。他的“ 开放社会探讨所”在帮助东欧国家发展民主社会和市场经济方面发挥了重要作用。索罗斯具有业内人士的优势, 了解全球资本主义的运行,因此他的指责会受到特殊关注。去年索罗斯基金网络在教化、公共卫生、促进民主项

20、目上花费了近五亿美元, 使索罗斯基金成为世界上最大的私人捐助集团之一。索罗斯赞扬反全球化运动使各公司更加相识到自己更广泛的责任。他说:“ 我认为( 反对者们) 做出的重要贡献是使大众意识到这个体系的缺陷。大街上的人们对舆论会有所影响, 而向公众推销商品的公司也会与舆论保持一样。”由于国际货币基金组织已经拒绝向经济困难的国家供应数十亿美元的救济, 索罗斯认为亚洲经济危机不会重演。国际货币基金组织首次在阿根廷试验的“ 既爱又严”的新政策带来了其他后果。国际货币基金组织用西方纳税人的钱担当了银行因不理智地向新兴国家供应贷款造成的恶果, 从而使那些救济金给华尔街带去丰厚福利。现在国际货币基金组织对贫困

21、国家的贷款正在枯竭。索罗斯说:“ 这就产生了一个新问题 资金从中心向周边流淌不足。”索罗斯最不担忧的就是美国经济。他说:“ 我对美国的经济潜力比对现在的市场更有信念, 因为我们正在进行的斗争不仅是应付恐怖主义, 而且也是在向经济衰退开战。尽管我们不承认, 但我们实际是在运用凯恩斯主义药方, 我是一个坚决的凯恩斯主义者。我从来没见过哪个国家在打算战事时还会陷入经济衰退。”他担忧这个世界上最大的经济大国不 能担当起自己的责任。他说:“ 我希望美国能够担当起作为霸权国家的职责, 因为美国不会放弃自己的霸权地位。惟一现实的是, 美国应意识到, 保证世界上其他国家能从他们自己所担当的角色中受益, 明显是符合美国自身利益的。”2018年12月高校英语四级阅读200篇汇总
