Chapter 19, Conscience Bank

Unlike those who revel in chaos, Franz, as a pacifist, had always detested disorder.

Watching the European Continent about to fall into chaos, Franz, as a responsible sovereign of Europe, knew he must do something.

Essentially, this disturbance across Europe was due to an economic crisis. Artificially delaying the outbreak of the crisis without proper follow-up measures for relief had resulted in uncontrollable conditions once the crisis erupted.

Previous economic crises were typically caused by one or two factors: errors in economic policy, imbalance in supply and demand of money, overheating of investments, stock market bubbles, excessive debts, natural disasters, financial storms, overcapacity...

This economic crisis was different; it included every factor except natural disasters. Consequently, the impact was unprecedented.
