35、.Five Problems Financial Reform Doesn't FixA. The legislation concerning financial reform focuses on helping regulators detect and defuse （ 減少 的危險(xiǎn)性 ） the next crisis. But it doesn't address many of the underlying conditions that can cause problems.B. The legislation gives regulators the powe

36、r 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 financial system, and much else.C. But the bill does more to help regulators detect the next financial crisis than to actually stop it from happening. In

37、that way, it's like the difference between improving public health and improving medicine: The bill focuses on helping the doctors who figure out when you'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 cont

38、ribute to whether you get sick in the first place.D. That is to say, many of the weaknesses and imbalances that led to the financial crisis will survive our regulatory response, and it's important to keep that in mind. So here are five we still have to watch out for:1. The Global Glut （供過于求 ） of

39、 SavingsE. "One of the leading indicators of a financial crisis is when you have a sustained surge in money flowing into the country which makes borrowing cheaper and easier," says Harvard economist Kenneth Rogoff. Our crisis was no different: Between 1987 and 1999, our current account def

40、icitthe measureof how much money is coming in versus going outfluctuated between 1 and 2percent of gross domestic product. By 2006, it had hit 6 percent.F. The sharp rise was driven by emerging economies with lots of growth and few investment opportunitiesthink Chinafunneling their money todeveloped

41、 economies with less growth and lots of investment opportunities. But we've gotten out of the crisis without fixing it. China is still growing fast, exporting faster, and sending the money over to US.2. Household Debtand Why We Need ItG. The fact that money is available to borrow doesn't exp

42、lain 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 is where I come to income inequality," saysRaghuram Rajan, an economist at the University of Chi

43、cago. "Alarge part ofthe 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, even if your income wasn't."H. Incomes, of course, are even more stagnant now that un

44、employment is at 9 percent. And that pain isn't being shared equally: inequality has actually risen since before the recession,as joblessness is proving stickyamong the poor, but recovery has been swift for the rich. Household borrowing is still more than 90 percent of GDP, and the conditions th

45、at drove it up there are, if anything, worse.3. The "Shadow Banking" MarketI. The financial crisis started out similarly severe, but it wasn't, at first, a crisis of consumers. It was a crisis of banks. It never became a crisis of consumers because consumer deposits are insured. But la

46、rge investors pension funds, banks, corporations, and others aren't insured. Butwhen they hear that their collateral （ 附屬擔(dān)保品 ） is dropping in value, they demand their money back. And when everyone does that at once, it's like an old-fashioned bank run: The banks can't pay everyone off at

47、 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.J. "This is an inherent problem of privately created money," says Gary Gorton, an economist at Princeton University. "It is vulnerable o

48、f runs." This year, we're bringing this shadow banking system under the control of regulators and giving them all sorts of over it, but we're not doing anything like deposit make the deposits safe so runs become an anachronism.4. Rich BanksK. In the 1980s, the financial sector's sha

They'll have plenty of money with which to help their friends forget this whole nasty affair.5. Lax （ 不嚴(yán)格的 ） RegulatorsM. The mos

52、t troubling prospect is the chance that this bill, if it in 2000, wouldn't even have prevented this financial crisis. That's not to undersell it: It would've given regulators more information with which to predict the crisis. But they had enough information, and they They get caught up i
