and an artificial system of settling them, has been fully
developed. Whenever there is a general and extensive disturbance
of this mechanism, no matter what its cause, money becomes
suddenly and immediately transformed from its merely ideal shape
of money of account into hard cash. Profane commodities can no

commodity! As the hart pants after fresh water, so pants his soul
after money, the only wealth. — Karl Marx
