stage, that is, in this culminating point, a natural explosion takes place. In thecase of the material world the explosion is of a material nature, and in thepsychic sphere the explosion is of a psychic order, and so on. Depressions mayhappen in any of the four eras -- the worker, warrior, priest or capitalist eras.Depressions may also take place in the cultural life of society due to suppression,repression and oppression. As a result, every aspect of cultural life becomesperverted and degenerates. This is why we get perverted literature, music,dance, art, architecture, etc.In both social and economic life this depression becomes unbearable for one andall. Such a depression took place between 1929 and 1931. During thisdepression in Bengal, five kilos of eggplant/brinjal were sold for one paisa, andforty kilos were sold for eight paisa in the Burdwan market, but there was no oneto purchase these items. There were also big curtailments in salaries, and peoplehad to accept salary cuts of ten percent or more.Today also the stage has almost come for such a severe reaction. The explosionwill come in two, three or five years. It will surely come within ten years. Thedifference between the previous depression and the future depression will be thatin the previous one there was little inflation, but the future depression will beassociated with inflation. Hence, it will be more detrimental to the integrateddevelopment of human society.This depression will occur in the industrial subsection of the commercialeconomy. It will have widespread and devastating consequences for humanity.An endeavour should be made to shorten the span of this economic depression.Before the final culminating point comes, it is possible to avert the disaster andaccelerate the speed of social movement. We can do so by creating a socio-economic and cultural impact on the entire social structure through PROUT. Asthe world is passing through a most critical phase, we should be more active andcreate an impact. If the positive impact we create coincides with the explosion,the effect will be excellent.It must be borne in mind that both inflation and depression result from the ailmentof staticity. If the production in a country is abundant and the gold bullionreserves are in proportion to the country's economic position, there is nopossibility of inflation. However, if the circulation of the capital decreases as aresult of staticity and the quantum of production also goes down, then inflation isbound to take place.If a country has a constant deficit in foreign trade, in that case also there is thepossibility of inflation. In addition, if foreign trade is not conducted according tothe barter system and the country has to import foodstuffs and export rawmaterials, inflation will certainly occur.
