Unemployment develops . . . because people want the moon; --  men cannot
  be employed when the object of desire (i.e. money) is something which
  cannot be produced and the demand for which cannot be readily choked off.
  There is no remedy but to persuade the public that green cheese is
  practically the same thing and to have a green cheese factory
  (i.e. a central bank) under public control.

  -- J.M. Keynes, The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money,
1936, p. 235
