Kohler: The next one. John and I would go back to the Titanic in a heartbeat. But that's not the end of it all. The sea has many different mysteries and John and I have dedicated our lives to going out there in search of them...

What happened there? Other questions that John and I have are things like the crew. The crew was brand new to the ship. Did they know how to operate the pumps?

As John Maynard Keynes pointed out in the 1930s, the cause of the cycle is alternating moods of optimism and pessimism, and its motor is credit, which enables optimism to determine economic activity. However, when Keynes discussed it, the only significant form of credit was business credit, financing capital investment decisions. There has since been a massive growth of consumer credit, which amplified the business cycle and prolonged the recent upswing...
