“"Inability to cope with a sudden change in the environment. He swam in a sea of money, and when money was transmuted back into paper he was left gasping and confused, and he died. You've read the history of the 'twenty-nine crash, haven't you?"
"Yes."
"Dozens of people killed themselves for the same reason. They created and lived in a environment of paper profits, and when paper returned to paper they had to kill themselves, not realizing that their environment was unnatural and artificial.”
