The Money supply (n.) feels ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠too much in stagnation and too little in excitement: the same £17.7 million that is a surplus now would feel like a restriction at high prices.

Panic (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠when a man no longer cares what he loses on his notes or bills; he makes himself safe and lets the rest of the world do as it pleases.
