Of course, when he speaks of the collapse of the reasonable centre, it must be remembered that the reason the quote-unquote "reasonable" centre collapses in a major depression is that it is not, in fact, reasonable. And has not been for quite some time.

Because if it were reasonable, it would have solved the problem before it turned into a serious depression. It is not at all difficult, from a technical perspective, to prevent depressions. All it requires is that you fuck over some creditors in a controlled manner before matters come to a head in a general collapse of the credit system.
