What is the cause of economic depressions?
A. The cause is suppression, repression and oppression. The cause is exploitation of the people. When exploitation reaches the culminating point, the mobility and the speed of the society become nil. At this point a natural explosion takes place. This depression may be economic but it may also be cultural, in which case we see that every aspect of life gets perverted and degenerates: then we will see perverted literature, music, dance, art, architecture, etc.
