"There's nothing unique about this; it is something which
happens every twenty or thirty years, because that is about the
length of the financial memory. It's about the length of time
that it requires for a new set of suckers, if you will, a new
set of people capable of wonderful self-delusion, to come in and
imagine that they have a new and wonderful fix on the future."
-- John Kenneth Galbraith, discussing the Wall Street crash of
1929, on the PBS television program, American Experience,
episode "The Crash os 1929" (aired November 2008 -- in my area,
on 2008-11-10)
