‘There is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion. The question is only whether the crisis should come sooner as a result of a voluntary abandonment of further credit expansion, or later as a final and total catastrophe of the currency system involved.’
Austrian School Economist, Ludwig von Mises
“That so many people trust in the power of their leaders to offset the natural progression from boom to bust in the economy is incredible. It can be demonstrated time and time again that leaders have always failed in their quest to arrest economic and financial decline. In fact, the more that these leaders believed in their power to maintain the status quo, the greater the ultimate damage and the greater the suffering endured by the people who had blindly placed their trust in them.”
