摘要：Economic crises have always been critical moments in the history of modern capitalism - crucibles for new relationships between state and society, as well as new arrangements between social classes.

Such privileged moments have invariably been prolific creators of new ideas and devastating critics of conventional wisdom, whether Right or Left.
