"Certainly there were many others as reprehensible and irresponsible as those who played the leading roles. The German people were the victims. The battle, as one who survived it explained, left them dazed and inflation-shocked. They did not understand how it had happened to them, and who the foe was who had defeated them."Adam Fergusson, When Money Dies: The Nightmare of the Weimar Collapse

When the reckoning for this protracted folly and organized plunder finally comes, they will all be so amazed.
It is so very modern to think that things are just as we say they are, because we say so. And nowhere is this psychosis more apparent than in modern economics and money.
It is the ultimate tyranny of selfishness and egoism, and will last as long as the masters can keep extending their power and their will, crushing all dissent and all others in their path,
And then comes the downfall, the sickening plunge, and the moment of terrible lucidity when the music stops. And the illusion dies.
Have a pleasant evening.
