A nice little rundown on the perils of economic foolishness...but obviously the biggest omission is the moral, ethical and societal rot that was a major contributor impelling the economic foolishness. Something which we can relate to now days, yes?
Rising cost of government...fiat debasement...creative finance...?
Check, check and check.
Moral, ethical and societal rot?
