For two years some commentators have been arguing that the contraction in global demand set off by the 2008 crisis would lead almost inevitably to a trade war, following much the same path that the world took in the 1930s. With anger already being expressed over disordered currency markets by several leaders before the meeting of the Group of Seven wealthy nations in Iqaluit, Canada, next month, it is beginning to look as if 2010 will be the year that proves them right.
兩年來(lái),一些評(píng)論人士一直辯稱,2008年危機(jī)導(dǎo)致的全球需求萎縮幾乎不可避免地會(huì)引發(fā)貿(mào)易戰(zhàn),重復(fù)上世紀(jì)30年代全球走過(guò)的老路。在七國(guó)集團(tuán)(G7)峰會(huì)下月在加拿大伊卡盧伊特舉行前,數(shù)位領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人已表達(dá)了對(duì)混亂的外匯市場(chǎng)的不滿,看上去2010年似乎將是證明這些評(píng)論人士正確性的一年。
