What if Gene Sperling, director of the White House’s national economic council, declared that a manufacturing renaissance would be strongly in America’s interest? Imagine he added that the US’s manufacturing decline was an aberration that should be reversed. Suppose he came close to breaking a real taboo by saying industrial policy may now make sense. Since Mr Sperling is President Barack Obama’s chief economic adviser – and thus speaking on his behalf – people would take notice, wouldn’t they?
假如美国白宫国家manbetx20客户端下载 委员会(National Economic Council)主任吉恩•斯珀林(Gene Sperling)宣称制造业复兴完全符合美国的利益，结果将会怎样？试想他还会声称，美国制造业的衰落是一种偏离正常轨道的现象，应该彻底改变这一现象。假设他宣称工业政策在目前来说或许具有意义——这几乎相当于打破了一个事实上的禁忌。既然斯珀林是美国总统巴拉克•奥巴马(Barack Obama)的首席manbetx20客户端下载 顾问——因而可以充当他的代言人——那么人们应该对他的话予以重视，难道不是吗？
