Economic crisis? People are trying to get money from nothing.
  THERE'S NO REAL MONEY. That's the issue. Trade is based on trust
  and promises kept or not kept. There's nothing tangible behind
  it.

  They're clamoring onto a fantasy-land "economic system" that has
  no basis in reality. It's a fiction. It's been a fiction ever
  since statistics took over and there was no longer any beans to
  count.

  Our economic crisis? There's never not been one. Just periods of
  forgetting. Where do the highs and lows come from? Belief among
  massive amounts of people acting in concert for or against
  things.

  Now that more AI is involved in economics, it's human beliefs
  programmed into computers working more quickly. Still fictional.
