I don’t think the depression we went through is going to turn out half as bad as the affluence we’re going into. We’re going into a greater turmoil. During the depression [people had] strength brought out by adversity. Prosperity does just the opposite. All the tranquilizers have come in during a prospering period.
 
Yip Harburg, from “Is Too Much Prosperity Bad for Broadway?” by Bennett Schiff. New York Post, May 5, 1960.
