资本主义已转至东方？ A perilous path to prosperity 英国《金融时报》专栏作家 戴维?皮林 A?few years ago it would have been difficult, if not impossible, to imagine European leaders, begging bowl in hand, turning to Beijing for a financial bail-out. Equally, few would have predicted that Chinese leaders visiting Washington would publicly berate US policymakers about their mismanagement of the world抯 biggest economy. But the world has changed. The 2008 implosion of the financial system in America and Europe, and last year抯 European sovereign debt crisis, have accelerated the shift of economic momentum to Asia. 几年前，即便不是全无可能，我们也很难想象，欧洲领导人会向中国政府托钵“化缘”，请求提供资金纾困。同样，很少有人能够预见到，访问华盛顿的中国领导人会公开指责美国政策制定者对这个全球最大经济体的管理不当。但世界已经发生了变化。2008年美国和欧洲金融体系的崩溃，以及去年的欧洲主权债务危机，加速了经济动能向亚洲的转移。 In 2012 the US and Europe are likely to be flirting with recession for much of the year. Barring a hard landing in China, Asia excluding Japan should continue to clip along nicely at about 7 per cent, according to most economists. 在2012年的大部分时间里，美国和欧洲恐怕还将继续与衰退共舞。许多经济学家称，除非中国经济出现“硬着陆”，否则亚洲除日本以外的国家，将继续实现7%左右的快速增长。 The dramatic change in fortunes has spawned a degree of triumphalism among some Asians. 揟here抯 no crisis of capitalism,?says Lord Desai, emeritus professor at the London School of Economics. 揟here抯 a crisis of western capitalism, which has gone geriatberatric.

Asian countries have been “stamped upon?by the west for centuries, he says, and until relatively recently were berated as 揵asket cases?unable to feed themselves. Now, he says, it is the ratpeople of the south in general and Asia in particular who are managing the wealth-generating forces of capitalism more efficiently. 德赛勋爵并不是唯一感觉到某种道德因果的人。他表示，几个世纪以
