>When has economic stability ever been a good strategy? Rapid improvement is very unstable. These are two unrelated things. The relative instability of improvement doesn't have much to do with whether or not it's preferable to have a stable economic system. Economic stability can be good. Rapid Improvement can be good. Rapid improvement can occur in economically stable times. I seem to remember from studying economics and history that usually, economic instability occurs AFTER rapid improvement, not before or during. This is in part because rapid improvement outpaces regulation and the economy around it, leading to an unstable economic environment rife with opportunity for good and bad actors to make fortunes.
