"the Patnaiks unearth a gorgeous quote from Keynes which refers to Lenin: “Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the Capitalistic System was to debauch the currency... Lenin was certainly right. There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency.”"

"As in the earlier period, ensuring that the supply of energy and of goods is kept flowing at nonincreasing prices to meet the growing demand at the core is crucial for maintaining the value of money at the core, as well as to ensure the stability of wealthholding, which is a central concern of capitalism; but the conditions for doing so are more difficult to establish in the absence of direct political control."
