"Crisis acts as a distillery. Whatever ideas people held before, they now promote in a more pure form.

• subsidies to favourite industries
• government takeover of unfavoured industries
• restrictions on people moving where they want
• reduced imports of goods
• shutting down sin businesses 
• fear of the Other
• money printing
