2、use (减少的危险) the next crisis. But it doesnt address many of the underlying conditions that can cause problems.The legislation gives regulators the power to oversee shadow banks and take failing firms apart, convenes a council of superregulators to watch the megafirms that pose a risk to the full fina

3、ncial system, and much else.But the bill does more to help regulators detect the next financial crisis than to actually stop it from happening. In that way, its like the difference between improving public health and improving medicine: The bill focuses on helping the doctors who figure out when you

4、re sick and how to get you better rather than on the conditions (sewer systems and air quality and hygiene standards and so on) that contribute to whether you get sick in the first place.That is to say, many of the weaknesses and imbalances that led to the financial crisis will survive our regulator

5、y, response, and its important to keep that in mind. So here are five we still have to watch out for:1. The Global Glut (过于求) of Savings“One of the leading indicators of a financial crisis is when you have a sustained surge in money flowing into the country which makes bonowing cheaper and easier,“

6、says Harvard economist Kenneth Rogoff Our crisis was no different: Between 1987 and 1999, our current account deficit-the measure of how much money is coming in versus going out-fluctuated between 1 and 2 percent of gross domestic product. By 2006, it had hit 6 percent.The sharp rise was driven by e

7、merging economies with lots of growth and few investment opportunities-think China-funneling their money to developed economies with less growth and lots of investment opportunities. But weve gotten out of the crisis without fixing it. China is still growing fast, exporting faster, and sending the m

8、oney over to us.2. Household Debt-and Why We Need ItThe fact that money is available to borrow doesnt explain why Americans borrowed so much of it. Household debt as a percentage of GDP went from a bit less than 60 percent at the beginning of the 1990s to a bit less than 100 percent in 2006. “This i

9、s where I come to income inequality,“ says Raghuram Rajan, an economist at the University of Chicago. “A large part of the population saw relatively stagnant incomes over the 1980s and 1990s. Credit was so welcome because it kept people who were falling behind reasonably happy. You were keeping up,

10、even if your income wasnt.“Incomes, of course, are even more stagnant now that unemployment is at 9 percent. And that pain isnt being shared equally: inequality has actually risen since before the recession, as joblessness is proving sticky among the poor, but recovery has been swift for the rich. H

11、ousehold borrowing is still more than 90 percent of GDP, and the conditions that drove it up there are, if anything, worse.3. The “Shadow Banking“ MarketThe financial crisis started out similarly severe, but it wasnt, at first, a crisis of consumers. It was a crisis of banks. It never became a crisi

12、s of consumers because consumer deposits are insured. But large investors-pension funds, banks, corporations, and others-arent insured. But when they hear that their collateral (附属担保品) is dropping in value, they demand their money back. And when everyone does that at once, its like an old-fashioned

13、bank run: The banks cant pay everyone offat once, so they unload all their assets to get capital, the assets become worthless because everyone is trying to unload them, and the banks collapse.“This is an inherent problem of privately created money,“ says Gary Gorton, an economist at Princeton Univer

14、sity. “it is vulnerable to these kinds of runs.“ This year, were bringing this shadow banking system under the control of regulators and giving them all sorts of information on it and power over it, but were not doing anything like deposit insurance, where we simply make the deposits safe so runs be

15、come an anachronism.4. Rich BanksIn the 1980s, the financial sectors share of total corporate profits ranged from about 10 to 20 percent. By 2004, it was about 35 percent. Simon Johnson, an economist at MIT, recalls a conversation he had with a fund manager. “The guy said to me, Simon, its so little

16、 money! You can sway senators for $10 million!?“ Johnson laughs ruefully (后悔地). “These guys big investors dont even think in millions. They think in billions.“What you get for that money is favors. The last financial crisis fades from memory and the public begins to focus on other things. Then the f

17、inance guys begin nudging (游说). They hold some fundraisers for politicians, make some friends, explain how the regulations theyre under are onerous and unfair. And slowly, surely, those regulations come undone. This financial crisis will stick in our minds for a while, but not forever. And after bri

18、efly dropping to less than 15 percent of corporate profits, the financial sector has rebounded to more than 30 percent. Theyll have plenty of money with which to help their friends forget this whole nasty affair.5. Lax (不严格的) RegulatorsThe most troubling prospect is the chance that this bill, if wed

19、 passed it in 2000, wouldnt even have prevented this financial crisis. Thats not to undersell it: It wouldve given regulators more infonnation with which to predict the crisis. But they had enough information, and they ignored it. They get caught up in boom times just like everyone else. A bubble, a

20、lmost by definition, affects the regulators with the power to pop it.In 2005, with housing prices nmning far, far ahead of the historical trend, Bernanke said a housing bubble was “a pretty unlikely possibility“. In 2007, he said Fed officials “do not expect significant spillovers from the subprime

21、market to the rest of the economy.“ Alan Greenspan, looking back at the financial crisis, admitted in April that regulators “have had a woeful record of chronic failure. History tells us they cannot identify the timing of a crisis, or anticipate exactly where it will be located or how large the loss

22、es and spillovers will be“.（分数：70.00）(1).What may the legislation concerning financial reforn achieve, according to the author?A. Strengthening the regulation of banks and companies.B.
