早在克林顿时期,萨默斯就曾进入白宫担任财政部长,而2009年他又二度进宫担任国家经济委员会主任,是一个既充满智慧而又处世高调的经济学家。奥巴马曾称他为“我们这个时代最伟大的经济学家之一”。 As early as during the Clinton era, Summers had entered the White House as the Minister of Finance. In 2009, he again stepped into the palace as the director of the National Economic Council. He is both an intelligent and sophisticated economist. Obama called him “one of the greatest economists of our time.”
