摘要

Before the financial crisis hit the world economy in the aftermath of the Lehman bankruptcy in the summer of 2008, the prevailing economic policy doctrine had been mainly one of market efficiency by deregulation. In fact, the refusal of the American Government to rescue Lehman can be interpreted as a last ditch attempt to enforce market discipline-with disastrous results. However, it would fall too short to blame neoliberalism alone for the crisis. After all, many mistakes had been made before through public intervention, including the artificial creation of a homeowner society in US and the flooding of markets with idle money, not only by the FED, but also by the ECB. It is also telling that, in Germany, the federal state banks were much more involved in the accumulation of toxic assets than the private banks. Thus, policy failure has played a substantial role in generating the recent financial crisis. However, it has also given a wake-up call to economists around the globe to reconsider the relevance of their theories to reality. After all, economics is not only a theoretical, but also an applied science. Accordingly, it takes more than academic
