当今的全球金融架构 — — 世界货币基金组织，世界银行和世界贸易组织 — — 在很大程度上依然是美国在二战后所树立的领导地位的产物（即便这些机构自建立之初已经发生了许多重大变化 ） 。
The global institutions of our day – the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and the World Trade Organization – are still largely the creation of American leadership at the end of World War II (though they have obviously undergone considerable change since then).
