国际货币基金组织长久以来一直都是左派与右派的替罪羊 — — 为前者替罪，是因为该组织将工作重点聚焦在财政廉洁与经济正统上；而为后者代罪，则是因为该组织的作用在于救援那些负债累累的国家。
The IMF has long been a whipping boy for both left and right – the former because of the Fund’s emphasis on fiscal rectitude and economic orthodoxy, and the latter because of its role in bailing out indebted nations.
