First Edition newsletter will be hosting a reader Q&A with economist Isabella Weber, a leading voice on inflation, affordability and cost of living and now’s your chance to put your questions to her Isabella Weber is one of the most sought-after and influential economists of her generation, and has advised policymakers and governments in the US, Germany, Europe and Latin America.
作为通货膨胀、生活成本及物价水平领域的权威专家，现在正是各位向她提问的良机。
She has become a leading voice on inflation, affordability and the cost of living.
伊莎贝拉·韦伯是当代最具影响力与号召力的经济学家之一，曾为美国、德国、欧洲及拉丁美洲的多国政策制定者与政府提供专业建议。
Her new book, Anti-Fascist Economics, looks at the relationship between economic insecurity and the rise of the far right, arguing progressive politics must respond to the rise of authoritarianism by urgently addressing the economic pressures people experience in their daily lives.
她的新著《反法西斯经济学》深入探讨了经济不稳定与极右翼势力崛起之间的关联，指出进步派政治力量必须切实解决民众日常面临的经济困境，才能有效应对威权主义的蔓延。此前，韦伯的观点曾被视为异类。
For years Weber was treated as an outlier. Weber is an associate professor of economics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and an associate in research at Harvard’s Fairbank Center, and is the author of the prize-winning How China Escaped Shock Therapy.
目前，她是马萨诸塞大学阿默斯特分校的经济学副教授，同时担任哈佛大学费正清研究中心的研究员，还著有屡获殊荣的《中国如何避开休克疗法》一书。
We’d love to hear your questions.
我们热切期待各位的提问：您是否想了解物价上涨如何影响当前政治格局？债券市场目前呈现何种态势？
Perhaps you would like to find out how the cost of living affects the current political landscape? What’s happening in the bond markets?
对于伯纳姆、马姆达尼等现任政客，以及致力于对抗德国选择党的各政党，她又有哪些建议？无论是紧缩政策还是财政赤字问题，任何疑问我们都乐于解答。
Or the advice she’d give to progressive politicians, from incumbents like Burnham and Mamdani to the German parties taking on the AFD. From austerity to zero deficits, nothing is too simple or complex.
