In [[the long run]], maybe.<ref>“But this [[the long run|long run]] is a misleading guide to current affairs. In the long run we are all dead. Economists set themselves too easy, too useless a task, if in tempestuous seasons they can only tell us, that when the storm is long past, the ocean is flat again.” — {{author|John Maynard Keynes}}, ''A Tract on Monetary Reform'' (1923).</ref> | |||
