当今世界面临许多难解的挑战。如何从2008年的经济危机中恢复过来无疑是其中非常重要的一个。经济学家致力于解决这一挑战,也讨论究竟是政府还是市场(或者二者合作)最适合帮助世界经济恢复。作为一名社会科学家,笔者拟在此处全景展现我们正面临的挑战,并列出国家和城市在不久的将来将会面临的系列挑战。下文将重点探讨四个此类挑战,也会明确地方层面的解决办法相较于国际和国家层面解决办法的重要性,因为地方层面的解决办法最可能持久。由领导层提出的解决办法,无论是国家层面还是国际层面的,走不远。从长远来看,如果不为地方民众和组织接受、执行,它们是不可持续的,不会持久。
The world today faces many difficult challenges. How to recover from the 2008 economic crisis is undoubtedly one of the most important ones. Economists are dedicated to solving this challenge and discussing exactly whether the government or the market (or both) are best suited to help the world economy recover. As a social scientist, I intend to present here a panoramic view of the challenges we are facing and outline a series of challenges countries and cities will face in the near future. The following sections will focus on four such challenges and will also clarify the importance of a local-level solution compared to international and national-level solutions, as solutions at the local level are most likely to last. The solution proposed by the leadership, whether at the national or international level, is not far from it. In the long run, they will not last long unless they are accepted and implemented by local people and organizations.
