财富精英励志演讲 第143期:未来的路(18)

 To sum up, the world is facing a choice between two fundamentally different forms of organization. We may label them international capitalism¹ and state capitalism. The former, represented by the United States, has broken down and the latter, represented by China, is in the ascendant. The path of least resistance leads to the gradual disintegration² of the international financial system as we know it. Yet a system of bilateral³ relations is liable to generate conflicts between states. A new multilateral system based on sounder principles needs to be invented. That would serve the best interests both the United States and China and of course the rest of the world.

总之，世界正面临着在两种形式式截然不同的组织之间进行选择。这两种组织我们称之为国际资本主义和国家资本主义。前者以美国为代表，已经瓦解；后者以中国为代表，正在兴起。我们知道，不加抵制的发展途径导致国际金融体制的逐步解体，而双边关系体制又容易造成国家间的冲突。需要找到一种新的建立在更健全原则基础上的多边体制。它不仅符合美国和中国，当然也符合全世界的利益。

Now while international cooperation is almost impossible to achieve on a piecemeal⁴ basis, it may be attainable⁵ in a grand bargain where entire financial order is rearranged. The emergence⁶ of the G20 as the primary forum⁷ of international cooperation and the peer review process adopted at the Pittsburgh meeting are steps in the right direction. But the G20 has to operate within the confines of the Articles of Association of the IMF as they are currently because changing the Articles is a long drawn-out process.

虽然国际合作几乎不可能以零散的方式实现，但可以通过重新调整金融秩序来实现大宗交易。作为国际合作的主要论坛的二十国集团的出现，以及在匹兹堡会议上同行评审程序的采纳，都是向正确方向迈出的重要步伐。但由于章程条款的更改是一个漫长的过程，二十国集团必须在《国际货市基金组织章程》的范围内运作。
