The true point of this experiment is to encourage people to educate themselves about our current inflationist monetary policy.

It is savings — not demand — that enables the expansion of production of goods and services.

When confronted with the fact that Keynes' solutions would never work in the long run, he would dismissively say, "In the long run, we're all dead."
