As the economist Lionel Robbins recalled: “Confronted with the freezing deflation of those days, the idea that the prime essential was the writing down of mistaken investments and…fostering the disposition to save was…as unsuitable as denying blankets and stimulus to a drunk who has fallen into an icy pond, on the ground that his original trouble was overheating.”
Como recordara el economista Lionel Robbins: "Frente a gran deflación de esos días, la idea de que lo esencial era eliminar las inversiones equivocadas y ... fomentar la disposición a ahorrar ... era tan poco adecuada como negar mantas y estimulantes a un borracho que hubiera caído en un estanque helado, bajo el razonamiento de que su problema original era el sobrecalentamiento."
