NARRATOR： Nixon decided he hadn't gone far enough； so he took his top economic advisors off to Camp David for a working weekend。 Ben Stein； the quizshow host； was a junior speechwriter in the White House； and his father was at the meeting。
旁白：尼克松认为自己走得还不够远，于是他在一个周末带上自己的顶级经济顾问们到戴维营开会。Ben Stein是白宫的高级演讲稿撰写人，他的父亲也参加了会议。
BEN STEIN； Host； Win Ben Stein's Money： Here's my father； walking into the president's cabin to meet Mr。 Nixon； and there's Gee Shultz right behind him。 I'm not sure； but I think it's a fair bet that at any one of these meetings they're plaining about something being wrong； probably talking about prices and stagflation。 I'm not sure。
BEN STEIN，主持人，Win Ben Stein's Money：这是我父亲，他步行到总统度假处来与尼克松先生见面，尼克松先生的右后方是Geroge Shultz。我不确定，但是我想这是一次公平的赌博。
NARRATOR： Dick Cheney was a young aide at the time。

旁白：据推测是保守的共和党人的尼克松选择了工资和价格管制。
BEN STEIN： Nixon was a great one for doing something； I think in retrospect we now know that it would have been better to do nothing； but he was in favor of doing something。
BEN STEIN：尼克松因为做了而成为伟人。我想我们今天回顾起来会发现如果什么都不作情况本来应该更好一些，但是他赞同作些什么。
GEE SHULTZ： I was there； and I opposed them。 Wage and price controls； you could see analytically； would get you in a lot of trouble。
GEE SHULTZ：我当时在那里，而且我反对他们。你分析一下就会明白工资和价格管制将使你陷入困境。

RICHARD CHENEY：尼克松总统大胆提到和引用了赫鲁晓夫的话，他所“赫鲁晓夫曾经告诉我有时候为了作一名政治家，你不得不暂时作一下政客。”

MILTON FRIEDMAN： The last time I saw Nixon in the Oval Office； with Gee Shultz； President Nixon said to me； "；Don't blame Gee for this silly business of wage and price control；"； meaning Gee Shultz。 And I said to him； "；Oh； no； Mr。 President； I don't blame Gee； I blame you！"；
弗里德曼：我最后一次在总统办公室里看见尼克松时，还有Gee Shultz，尼克松总统对我说：“不要为这个愚蠢的工资和价格管制责备乔治，”而我则说：“噢，不，总统先生，我不责怪乔治；我责怪你！”

KENNETH BAKER； Conservative Minister； 19811992： I was a junior minister in Ted Heath's government； and I remember having to attend meetings with three or four other ministers where we would actually decide the level of charges plumbers would charge next week to repair taps and how much taxi drivers could charge for fares and how much hairdressers should get in wages。 It was absolutely unbelievable。 It all came to a very sticky end； a plete collapse。

DAVID YOUNG，保守党大臣，1984－1989年：我们是欧洲病人，英国病就是罢工病，这里到处都有罢工。你知道，情况如此糟糕以至于Hudson Institute的Herman Kahn写了一本名为《2000年》的书，书中他预言了很多事情，其中一件是在2000年的欧洲，生活水平最低的两个国家是阿尔巴尼亚和联合王国。阿尔巴尼亚！
