请阅读Passage 2。完成第小题。Passage 2The medical community owes economists a great deal. Amartya Sen won a Nobel Prize for Economic Sciences in 1998. He has spent his entire career promulgating ideas of justice and freedom, with health rarely out of his gaze. Joseph Stiglitz won a Noble in 2001. In 1998, when he was chief economist at the (then) notoriously regressive World Bank, he famously challenged the Washington Consensus. And Jeff Sachs, a controversial figure to some critics, can fairly lay claim to the enormous achievement of putting health at the center of the Millennium Development Goals.His"Commission on Macroeconomics and Health" was a landmark report, providing explicit evidence to explain why attacking disease was absolutely necessary if poverty was to be eradicated.And I must offer my own personal gratitude to a very special group of economists--Larry Summers,Dean Jamison, Kenneth Arrow, David Evans, and Sanjeev Gupta. They were the economic team that drove the work of Global Health 2035.But although we might be kind to economists, perhaps we should be tougher on the disci li- of economics itself. For economics has much to answer for. Pick up any economics textbook, and you will see the priority given to markets and efficiency, price and utility, profit and competition.These words have chilling effects on our quest for better health. They seem to marginalize those qualities of our lives that we value most of all--not our self-interest, but our humanity; not the costs and benefits of monetary exchange, but vision and ideals that guide our decisions. It was these issues that were addressed at last week's Global Health Lab, held at Lndon School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine.Anne Mills, Vice-Director of the School, fervently argued the case in favor of economists. It was they who contributed to understanding the idea of"best-buys" in global health. It was economists who challenged user fees. And it was economists who made the connection between health and economic growth, providing one of the most compelling political arguments for taking health seriously. Some economists might adore markets, but not health economists, she said."Health care is different." For her kind of economist, a health system is a"social institution that embodies the values of society".Although competition has a part to play in health, it should be used judiciously as a mechanism to improve the quality of care. Chris Whitty, Chief Scientific Adviser at the UK's DepartmentforInternationalDevelopment,expressedhiscontemptforthosewhoprofess indifference to economics. Economics is about the efficient allocation of scarce resources. Anyone who backed the inefficient allocation of resources is"immoral". He did criticize economists for their arrogance, though. Economists seemed to believe their ideas should be accepted simply because of the authority they held as economists. Economics, he said, is only one science among many that policy makers have to take into account. But Clare Chandler, a medical anthropologist,took a different view. She asked, what has neoliberal economics ever done for global health? Her answer, in one word, was "inequality". Neoliberal economics frames the way we think and act. Her argument suggested that any economic philosophy that put a premium on free trade, privatization,minimal government, and reduced public spending on social and health sectors is a philosophy bereft of human virtue. The discussion that followed, led by Martin McKee, posed difficult questions. Why do economists pay such little attention to inequality? Why do economists treat their theories like religions? Why are economists so silent on their own failures? Can economics ever be apolitical? There were few satisfactory answers to these questions.Which of the following best describes the author's attitude toward economists?查看材料A．Contempt.B．Reservation.C．Detachment.D．Endorsement.

One would think that in a world torn by economic problems,a world that constantly worries about economic affairs and talks of economic issues,the great economists would be as familiar as the great philosophers or statesmen.Instead they are oniy shadowy figures of the past,ancl the matters they so passionately debated are regarded with a kind of distant awe.Economics,it is said,is undeniably important,but it is cold and difficult,and best left to those who are at home in perplexing realms of thought.Nothing could be further from the truth.A man who thinks that economics is only a matter for professors forgets that this is the science that has sent men to the battlefield.A man who has looked into an economics textbook and concluded that economics is boring is like a man who has read a basic book on tactics and decided that the study of warfare must be dull No,the great economists pursued an inquiry as exciting-and as dangerous-as any the world has ever known.The ideas they dealt with,unlike the ideas of the great philosophers,did not make little difference to our daily working lives;the experiments they urged could not,like the scientists',be carried out in the isolation of a laboratory.The notions of the great economists were world-shaking,and their mistakes nothing short of calamitous."The ideas of economists and political philosophers,"wrote Lord Keynes,himself a great economist,"both when they are right and when they are wrong,are more powerful than is commonly unclerstood.Indeed the world is ruled by little else.Practical men,who believe themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influences,are usually the slaves of some departed economist.Madmen in authority,who hear voices in the air,are extracting their frenzy from some academic scribbler of a few years back.I am sure that the power of vested interests is vastly exaggerated compared with the gradual encroachment of ideas."The great economists can be called worldly philosophers,for they sought to embrace in a scheme of philosophy the most worldly of all of man's activities-his drive for wealth.It is not,perhaps,the most elegant kind of philosophy,but there is no more intriguing or more important one,Who would think to look for Order and Design in a poor family and a speculator breathlessly awaiting ruin,or seek Consistent Laws and Principles in a mob marching in a street and a greengrocer smiling at his customers?Yet it was the faith of the great economists that just such seemingly unrelated threads could be woven into a single fabric,that at a sufficient distance the chaotic world could be seen as an orderly progression,and the noise resolved into a harmony.
