tury is either marred in its first 50 years by terrorism of all kinds across national borders; and more racial and religious and ethnic strife; and tribal strife in Africa; or whether it bees the most peaceful and prosperous and interesting time the world's ever known。
克林顿:他们关心的是问题的合法性,但他们的诊断是错误的。他们认为全球经济是他们所反对的贫困的根源。从另一方面来说,如果没有一个全球化的社会反应、环境反应和安全反应就不可能有全球化的经济。如果你认为能够,那是不切实际的。下一个大的挑战是如何使这个互相依存的世界在平衡的状况下使其积极的一面超越消极的一面。我们的努力在多大程度上成功将决定,在21世纪我们是在前50年被全球的各式各样的恐怖份子、种族、宗教、种族冲突、非洲的部落冲突所摧毁;还是会变成一个前人没有经历过的更和平、繁荣、更有意义的世界。

DANIEL YERGIN:到911事件为止,虽然有危机和风险,全球化的运动是不可逆转的。911事件以后, 有一种认识认为虽然你不能逆转时钟、不能废止电子邮件、计算机不可能变得更慢,但是事情有可能会转向其它方向。市场在和平时期会运转得最好,充分发挥其作用。但是如果不是处于和平时期,而是其它的任何时期,市场也有可能不发挥作用。其它方面会有更重要的
