"Be Vigilant: - Conclusion of THE AGE OF TURBULENCE BEGAN

Greenspan recalled from his student days a statement by Economics Professor Benjamin  M. Anderson (1886-1949)  "Those who have an adult's recollection  and an adult's understanding of the world which preceded World War I look back  upon it with a great nostalgia.  There was a sense of security then which has never since existed." - Economics and the Public Welfare.

A similar conclusion is reached in the volume A World Undone, by G.J. Meyer, published in 2006. We read: "Historic events are often said to have changed everything.' In the case of the Great War  (1914-1918) this is, for once, true. The war really did change everything not just borders, not just governments and fate of nations, but the way people have seen the world and themselves ever since. It became a kind of hole in time, leaving the postwar world permanently disconnected from everything that had come before."
