Cybersecurity Quote by Kathrine Kressmann Taylor
““And with the inflation our inner system disintegrated utterly. Fortunes disappeared overnight. Money that one day would have meant lifelong security, on the next would not buy a loaf of bread. Workmen were paid daily and carried their baskets of paper marks in desperate haste to the stores, buying the first articles they could lay their hands on before the price should double. Then they began to be paid twice a day, staggering barrow-loads of bills that would be hardly enough to buy a cabbage by the time they could get to the market.””
