通貨膨脹、製裁和產業政策
關於經濟思想混亂的思考

詹姆斯·K·加爾布雷斯是美國著名的左翼經濟學家之一，他研究了美國和歐洲的經濟政策辯論：通貨膨脹導致歐洲實際工資損失，也導致企業成本上升，尤其是工業企業。然而，美國控製通貨膨脹的速度更快，拜登政府通過了《通脹削減法案》，製定了一攬子基礎設施投資以及生態轉型補貼計劃。但這是需要的新形式的產業政策嗎？加爾布雷斯持懷疑態度。
另一方麵，在歐洲，“去工業化”的幽靈已經開始出現，這在很大程度上是由於能源價格和總體生產成本的上漲。歐洲經濟如何應對這一問題？迄今為止的計劃不過是滄海一粟。需要做些什麽才能實現繁榮的經濟，讓所有船隻都受益，而不僅僅是豪華遊艇？正義、創新和生態轉型——它們能結合在一起嗎？

詹姆斯·加爾布雷斯是美國經濟學家。他目前是林登·約翰遜公共事務學院和德克薩斯大學奧斯汀分校政府係的教授。他還是巴德學院利維經濟研究所的高級學者，也是 2011 年成立的世界經濟協會執行委員會的成員。

INFLATION, SANCTIONS AND INDUSTRIAL POLICY
Thoughts on the Disorder in Economic Thought
 
James K. Galbraith, one of the leading left-wing American economists, examines the economic policy debates in the USA and Europe: inflation has led to real wage losses in Europe, but also to rising costs for companies, particularly in industry.

However, the USA has been quicker to get inflation under control and, with the Biden administration's “Inflation Reduction Act”, has put together a package of investments in infrastructure as well as subsidies for ecological transformation. But is this the new form of industrial policy that is needed? Galbraith is skeptical.

In Europe, on the other hand, the spectre of “de-industrialization” is already being raised, not least due to the rise in energy prices and production costs in general. How can the European economy respond to this? The programs to date are little more than a drop in the ocean. What needs to be done to achieve a prosperous economy that lifts all boats, not just the luxury yachts? Justice, innovation and ecological transformation – do they go together?

James Galbraith is an American economist. He is currently a professor at the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs and at the Department of Government, University of Texas at Austin. He is also a Senior Scholar with the Levy Economics Institute of Bard College and part of the executive committee of the World Economics Association, created in 2011.
