Perhaps the greatest legacy of Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan is the way he transformed people's attitude to credit and debt. During his term of office not only the national debt of America, but also personal debt, increased substantially. Since the Great Depression of the 1930s, people in America have been naturally reluctant to borrow money. But for this generation, in the US and increasingly globally, debt has become respectable. From an early age, young people take out loans to pay their way through college and borrowing against equity in real estate is now at record levels. Re-mortgaging your home was unheard of generations ago, a second mortgage was an indication of a household in trouble. But today it is routine.
或許對(duì)于美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)主席艾倫·格林斯潘來(lái)說(shuō)，最棒的遺產(chǎn)是他轉(zhuǎn)變了人們對(duì)貸款和債務(wù)的態(tài)度。在他任職期間，不僅僅美國(guó)的國(guó)家債務(wù)大體上增長(zhǎng)，連個(gè)人債務(wù)也有增長(zhǎng)。 自從20世紀(jì)30年代大蕭條以來(lái)，人們?cè)诿绹?guó)已經(jīng)不愿意借錢(qián)。但對(duì)于這一代人，在美國(guó)和日益全球化的時(shí)代，債務(wù)變得越來(lái)越受人尊重。從小，年輕人通過(guò)貸款的方式支付大學(xué)學(xué)費(fèi)，用不動(dòng)產(chǎn)作為抵押資產(chǎn)這方法，創(chuàng)下了歷史的新紀(jì)錄。重新抵押你的房子在以前是沒(méi)有聽(tīng)說(shuō)過(guò)，第二次抵押來(lái)貸款表明這家庭在金錢(qián)上有麻煩，但今天卻是家常便飯的一件事。 ——By lsy34
