"Year by year the cost of living increases, and wages, if they move at all, move laggingly, and after desperate and embittered strife.  Day by day the money-masters of America become more aware of their danger, they draw together, they grow more class-conscious, more aggressive.  The [first world] war has taught them the possibilities of propaganda; it has accustomed them to the idea of enormous campaigns which sway the minds of millions and make them pliable to any purpose.

American political corruption was the buying up of legislatures and assemblies to keep them from doing the people's will and protecting the people's interests; it was the exploiter entrenching himself in power, it was financial autocracy undermining and destroying political democracy." 

Upton Sinclair, The Brass Check 

 

“Booms start with some tie-in to reality, some reason which justifies the increase in asset values, and then -- and this is the critical feature of speculative mood -- the market loses touch with reality.” 

John Kenneth Galbraith

"I will be your God, unchanging, throughout your life— until you are old, and your hair is white with age.  I made you, and I will care for you.  I will sustain you and save you." 

Isaiah 46:4
