Bull market Quote by Kwasi Kwarteng

“The bull market, rising prices, earning lots of money, make it seem as if the good days will never end. When prices are falling and there is a recession, that also feels as though it will last for ever. Politics is the same. People simply can't imagine changing circumstances.” quote by Kwasi Kwarteng
