简答题】
The diffusion of knowledge is the dominant trend of our time. What was happening in Britain during the Industrial Revolution was not an isolated phenomenon. A succession of visitors to Britain would go back to their countries to report on the technological innovations they saw there. Sometimes societies were able to learn extremely fast, as in the United States. Others, like Italy, benefited from starting late, leapfrogging the long-drawn-out process that Britain went through.
This diffusion of knowledge accelerated dramatically in recent years. Over the last 30 years we have watched countries like Japan, Singapore and now China grow at a pace that is four times that of Britain at tile peak of the Industrial Revolution. They have been able to do this because of their energies, of course, but also because they cleverly adopted certain ideas about development that had worked in the West relatively free markets, open trade, a focus on science and technology, among them. And this shift is happening all around the world. From Thailand to South Africa, from Brazil to Mexico, countries are far better managed economically than they have ever been.
We are sometimes reluctant to believe in progress. But the evidence is unmistakable. The management of major economies has changed greatly in the last few years. Careful monetary policy has tempered the boom-and-bust economic cycles of the industrial world, producing milder recessions and fewer shocks. Every day one reads of a new study campaigning nations in everything from Intemet penelration to interest rates. All these studies and lists are symbols of a learning process that is accelerating, reinforcing the lessons of success and failure.

解析:
知识的传播是我们这个时代的主流。发生在英国工业革命期间,不是一个孤立的现象。接连不断的到访英国的人回到他们的国家报告的他们在那里看到的技术革新。有时社会能够以极快的速度学习,因为在美国。其他人,像意大利,得益于起步晚,跨越旷日持久的过程,英国经历。
知识的传播速度大大加快近年来。在过去的30年,我们已经看到一些国家如日本,新加坡和中国现在的步伐成长四倍,英国瓦峰工业革命。他们已经能够这样做,因为他们的精力,当然,也因为他们巧妙地采用了若干发展思路,曾在西相对自由的市场,开放的贸易,对科技的关注,其中。这种转变是发生在世界各地。从泰国到南非,从巴西到墨西哥,各国都远比以往的管理经济。
我们有时不愿相信进步。但是证据是确凿的。管理的重大经济发生了翻天覆地的变化在过去的几年里。谨慎的货币政策缓和了经济繁荣与萧条周期的世界工业生产,温和的经济衰退和更少的冲击。每一天读一个新的研究活动的在一切从互联网兴趣程度。所有这些研究和列表符号的一种加速的学习过程,强化了成功的经验和失败的教训。
