"Now 'in the long run' this [way of summarizing the quantity theory 
of money] is probably true.... But this long run is a misleading 
guide to current affairs. **In the long run** we are all dead. 
Economists set themselves too easy, too useless a task if in 
tempestuous seasons they can only tell us that when the storm is long 
past the ocean is flat again."
