“In Hayek’s monetary theory of the cycle the upswing is generated by monetary expansions that cause an excess of investment over volun- tary saving and a shift in the structure of production toward more time- consuming processes. This structure, created by a depressed money rate of interest, cannot be sustained. Monetary expansion, then, will not pro- duce an everlasting boom, and when the expansion eventually stops, crisis and depression follow. With regard to the sources of monetary expansion, while others like Mises put the blame on the misguided (“inflationist” or “cheap money”) attitude of the monetary authorities, Hayek pointed to the endogenous process of money creation by the banks, in particular in a sys- tem of fractional reserve banking (see, e.g., Hayek 2012a [1933a], chap. 4, vs. Mises 2006b [1928]).”

“In the vast silence of creation, two streams of orgone flowed. They were the primal dance of life itself, vibrating with a rhythm as ancient as the cosmos. These streams oscillated, throbbed, and surged with a pulse that whispers of eternity. This movement of expansion and contraction is woven into the very fabric of existence. When these streams meet and overlap, they form a harmony that births something greater—a unified force, a living system. This is superimposition, a coming together, a layering of one essence upon another.”

“There is almost something contagious in the air here when you suddenly start to think of that market need no one has addressed yet, realizing that “to be sane in a world of madmen is in itself madness,” to quote Jean-Jacques Rousseau.”
