印度洋海啸给人类造成了巨大的生命和财产损失,据联合国估算,受灾国家 和地区至少需要50亿美元的捐款才能度过这场灾难。正当人们纷纷解囊相助,并 探讨海啸的预警机制和灾难的危机处理时,却传来了来自资本的另一种声音。 位于华盛顿特区的研究机构国际经济学院主任博格斯坦在美国全国公共电台 表示:“尽管造成很大的困难,这类自然灾害从长远来看对经济都会有正面作 用”。 The tsunami in the Indian Ocean has caused enormous human and financial losses to humankind. According to the UN estimates, the affected countries and regions need at least $ 5 billion in donations to survive the disaster. Just as people came forward to help each other and discuss the tsunami early warning mechanism and the disaster crisis, another voice came from capital. Boggstein, director of the School of International Economics at Washington, DC, said on the National Public Radio: “Naturally, these natural disasters will have a positive impact on the economy in the long run, despite great difficulties.”
