The Debt Problem: Not Only a Financial Question
从墨西哥前财长的债务人视角，回顾1982年墨西哥债务危机的起源与应对措施，强调解决债务问题需要债权国与债务国共同承担责任，并呼吁工业国家改变态度以加强国际经济合作。
This article discusses the global debt problem from the debtor's perspective—in this case, from the perspective of Mexico's former Finance Minister. It explores its origins from the onset of the debt crisis in Mexico in 1982 and discusses the steps that have been taken to respond to the problem. The solution, however, demands shared responsibility and requires active joint participation by creditor countries as well as debtor countries. International economic cooperation—which entails a substantial change in the attitude of industrial countries—is crucial to avoiding a potentially explosive situation.
