[請教] 關於 IMF
在九月的某期 NEWSWEEK 看到一篇關於 IMF 的文章, 有幾個疑問想請教大家
1. 裡面有對 Meltzer 教授的訪談摘要, 其中一個:
Q:Asian exchang rates are more rigid today than before the 97-98 crisis.
Why is that a bad thing?
A:Two reasons. The US has an unsustainable current-account[trade] deficit.
This year it will borrow $800 billion, much of it from China. And many
other countries of Asia have pegged to China just as China has pegged
to the US dollar. As a result, Asia's total dollar holdings now are
around $2 trillion. They have probably separated themselves from the need
to take advice from the IMF.
為什麼美國要跟中國借錢?
peg to 的意思我查字典, 釘住市價? 不太懂
2. 我查了 wiki 關於 IMF 的介紹, 好像左派人士對它非常反感
NEWSWEEK 那篇文章說 IMF 在面對歐美強勢國家的時候, 很沒有力
IMF到底有存在的必要嗎?
----
因為我從暑假才開始看 NEWSWEEK 跟 經濟學人的一些文章, 經濟學的教科書還沒看過
覺得這些東西實在是比電子學有趣多了
如果問題有什麼愚蠢的地方, 請大家多多包含 orz
