The term “helicopter money” is derived from a vivid image created by the US economist Milton Friedman in which a central banker showers notes on a grateful populace. More recently, the notion has been promoted by Adair Turner, the former chairman of the UK financial regulator, in his book, Between Debt and the Devil. It has also won some favour from bond king Bill Gross and even real central bankers such as Ben Bernanke, formerly chairman of the US Federal Reserve, and Mario Draghi, president of the European Central Bank.
“直升机撒钱”这种说法来源于美国manbetx20客户端下载 学家米尔顿•弗里德曼(Milton Friedman)构想的一个生动场景：某个央行行长将纸币雪花般地洒向感激的民众。近来，这个概念又被英国金融监管当局的前任主席阿代尔•特纳(Adair Turner)在他的著作《债务与魔鬼之间》(Between Debt and the Devil)中推崇。它还得到了其他一些重量级人物的认同，包括债券之王比尔•格罗斯(Bill Gross)，甚至真实世界的央行行长，如美联储(Fed)前主席本•伯南克(Ben Bernanke)和欧洲央行(ECB)行长马里奥•德拉吉(Mario Draghi)。
