A little hypocrisy（虚伪）is not in itself a serious problem. The real problem is that Western governments continue to insist that they retain control of the key global economic and financial institutions while drifting away from global liberalization. Look at what’s happening at the IMF (International Monetary fund). The Europeans have demanded that they keep the post of managing director. But all too often, Western officials put their own interests above everyone else’s when they dominate these global institutions.
The time has therefore come for the Asians---who are clearly the new winners new winners in today’s global economy---to provide more intellectual leadership in supporting free trade. Sadly, they have yet to do so. Unless Asians speak out, however, there’s a real danger that Adam Smith’s principles, which have brought so much good to the world, could gradually die. And that would leave all lf us worse off , in one way or another.

“商业模型”这个术语，首先被广泛的应用在个人计算机的发明和空白表格程序上。在有空白表格程序之前，商业策划一般意味着制定出一个预测，最好是你对这个项目做出一点儿敏感性的分析。这种空白表格程序将计划带入了更强的可分析性途径，因为每一个主项目都能够被分离，每一个主件和附件都能够被分析和检验，你可以针对你的决定性的商业设想做任何的“如果式”的疑问，举例来说，如果顾客对于价格的敏感性比我们预想的要高会怎样？而只要敲几下键盘，你就能够知道哪一种变化能够在整体上对各个方面造成影响。换句话说，你能够将商业模式信息化，在计算机改变商业计划的本质之前，很多的成功的商业模型都不是由详细的设计，而是被意外创造出来的。空白表格程序通过使公司将他们的市场洞察和经济影响紧密相联而在计划被制订出来之前使商业模式化成为可能。 |
