Since so many people (ourselves included) have found and used Hemingway's bit of dialogue from "The Sun Also Rises":
“How Did You Go Bankrupt?”
“Two Ways. Gradually and Then Suddenly.”
I thought I would drop another of his money quotes.
Via the US Holocaust Memorial Museum's Holocaust Encyclopedia:
"The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency; the second is war.
Both bring a temporary prosperity; both bring a permanent ruin.
But
both are the refuge of political and economic opportunists."
—"Notes on
the Next War," Esquire magazine, Ernest Hemingway, September 1935.
