Australia s promise
澳大利亚的未来
IMAGINE a country of about 25m people,democratic, tolerant, welcoming to immigrants,socially harmonious, politically stable and economically successful; good beaches too. Itsounds like California 30 years ago, but it is not: it is Australia today. Yet Australia couldbecome a sort of Californiaand perhaps a still more successful version of the Golden State.
想象这样一个国家:大约2500万人口,民主、宽容、欢迎移民、社会和谐、政治稳定、经济成功,还有良好的海滩。听上去这像是30年前的加利福利亚,不,这是现在的澳大利亚。不过,澳大利亚能够成为某种形式上的加利福利亚,并且很可能比它更为成功。
It already has a successful economy, which unlike Californias has avoided recession since 1991,and a political system that generally serves it well. It is benefiting from a resources bonanzathat brings it quantities of money for doing no more than scraping up minerals and shippingthem to Asia. It is the most pleasant rich country to live in, reports a survey this week by theOECD. And, since Asias appetite for iron ore, coal, natural gas and mutton shows no signs ofabating, the bonanza seems set to continue for a while, even if it is downgraded to some lesserform of boom . However, as our special report in this issue makes clear, thecountrys economic success owes much less to recent windfalls than to policies applied over the20 years before 2003. Textbook economics and sound management have truly workedwonders.
