旁白:但弗裡德曼(Fridman)也被說服,去參觀了皮諾切特藉以統治智利的冷酷的會議中心。弗裡德曼對皮諾切特講,他必須立即採取果斷的措施來制止通貨膨脹。
JAVIER VIAL: Friedman says: ";Well; I'm going to give you an example。 If you cut the tail to a dog in pieces; step by step you will kill the dog。 This is the same as inflation。 You have to cut it at once; and then the country will start moving。";
賈威爾。維拉(Javier Vial):弗裡德曼,“好吧,我給你舉個例子,假如你一段一段地剁一條狗的尾巴,慢慢地你就會殺死這條狗,通貨膨脹也是一樣的,你必須立即遏制它,整個國家經濟才會開始動起來。
