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。
克林頓:他們關心的是問題的合法性,但他們的診斷是錯誤的。他們認為全球經濟是他們所反對的貧困的根源。從另一方面來說,如果沒有一個全球化的社會反應、環境反應和安全反應就不可能有全球化的經濟。如果你認為能夠,那是不切實際的。下一個大的挑戰是如何使這個互相依存的世界在平衡的狀況下使其積極的一面超越消極的一面。我們的努力在多大程度上成功將決定,在21世紀我們是在前50年被全球的各式各樣的恐怖份子、種族、宗教、種族衝突、非洲的部落衝突所摧毀;還是會變成一個前人沒有經歷過的更和平、繁榮、更有意義的世界。

DANIEL YERGIN:到911事件為止,雖然有危機和風險,全球化的運動是不可逆轉的。911事件以後, 有一種認識認為雖然你不能逆轉時鐘、不能廢止電子郵件、計算機不可能變得更慢,但是事情有可能會轉向其它方向。市場在和平時期會運轉得最好,充分發揮其作用。但是如果不是處於和平時期,而是其它的任何時期,市場也有可能不發揮作用。其它方面會有更重要的
