“Sucedió en un barrio peculiar de la babilónica Lima, donde reinaban en aquellos años unas pestilencias soportables. Y es que con frecuencia los trabajadores municipales estaban de huelga por semanas. Sucedía entonces que en las madrugadas ciertos vecinos, o quizás alguno de los mismos vendedores ambulantes de la avenida que cruzaba el barrio ---alguien vio una vez al emolientero---, en una especie de rituales casi mágicos, rociaban con kerosene y les echaban fuego a los cerros de basura acumulada en las veredas. Así se evitaba la propagación de enfermedades y de roedores, decían.

“Such a crises occurs only where the ever-lengthening chain of payments,
and an artificial system of settling them, has been fully
developed. Whenever there is a general and extensive disturbance
of this mechanism, no matter what its cause, money becomes
suddenly and immediately transformed from its merely ideal shape
of money of account into hard cash. Profane commodities can no
longer replace it. The use-value of commodities becomes
valueless, and their value vanishes in the presence of its own
independent form. On the eve of the crisis, the bourgeois, with
the self-sufficiency that springs from intoxicating prosperity,
declares money to be a vain imagination. Commodities alone are
money. But now the cry is everywhere that money alone is a
commodity! As the hart pants after fresh water, so pants his soul
after money, the only wealth.”
