《货币的非国家化》

中英双语【连载】

这种改革可能引起的问题是,它目前只能是一种理论上的建议,而不是政策性建议,因为很显然,这种更为激进的改革建议,对于普通公众来说,过于离奇、过于陌生,他们恐怕不会考虑目前予以实施。它所引起的问题,专家们显然也不大了解,对于这样一种方案的精确结果,无人能够作出可靠的预测。但目前不受质疑地被人普遍接受的政府垄断货币之供应的做法,显然有可能既不是必需的,甚至也没有优势。事实上,实践有可能证明,这种做法是有害的,而废除它则有巨大的好处,而这将为更为有益的发展开辟道路。因而,讨论不能一开始就提得太满。只要公众对其没有作好准备、并仍然不假思索地就接受政府必须垄断货币发行的教条,则我们的建议就完全不可能有实现的机会;尽管如此,这却将不再会成为我们对这一方案所提出的引人入胜的理论问题进行知识上的的探索的障碍。

The problem that such a reform might raise is that it is currently only a theoretical proposal, not a policy one, because it is clear that such a more radical reform proposal would be too bizarre and unfamiliar to the general public to consider implementing it at this time. The problems it raises are also apparently not well understood by experts, and no one can make reliable predictions about the precise outcome of such a program. But it is clear that the present unchallenged and universally accepted government monopoly on the supply of money is likely to be neither necessary nor even advantageous. Indeed, it is likely to prove harmful in practice, while its abolition would have enormous benefits, which would open the way to more beneficial developments. Thus, the discussion should not be raised too full at the beginning. As long as the public is unprepared for it and remains unthinking in its acceptance of the dogma that the government must have a monopoly on currency issuance, our proposal has no chance of being realized; nevertheless, this will no longer be an obstacle to the intellectual exploration of the fascinating theoretical issues raised by this program.
