2、In Britain, the market is really the City of London. It is a free market, and it controls most of the flow of savings to investment. On the Continent, either a few banks or government officials direct the flow of funds to suit their economic plans. In Germany the flow is directed by all-powerful ban

3、ks. In Britain there is more free interplay of market forces and far fewer regulations, rules and "red tape";. A French banker summed it up this way: "On the Continent you can’t do anything unless you’re been told you can; in England on the other hand you can do everything as long as you

4、 haven’t been told not to."; 　　There are many basic reasons for these differences. One is that Continental savers tend to prefer gold, cash or short-term assets. They invest only 10% of their savings in institutions like pension funds or insurance companies. But in Britain 50% of savings

8、to an end: investment in the economy. To British eyes continental systems with possible exception of the Dutch seem slow and inefficient. But there is one outstanding fact the City should not overlook. Britain’s growth rates and levels of investment over the last ten years have been much lower

9、 than on the Continent. There are many reasons for this, but the City must take part of the blame. If it is accepted that the basic function of a financial market is to supply industry and commerce with finance in order to achieve desired rates of growth, it can be said that by concentrating on the

10、market for its own sake the City has tended to forget that basic function. 　　1. What is the best title of the passage? 　　A. Savings and the Growth Rate. 　　B. Banking and Finance: Two Different Realities. 　　C. Monetary Policy in Britain. 　　D. The European Continent and Britai
