“Thank you. Since we decided a few weeks ago to adopt the leaf as legal tender, we have, of course, all become immensely rich. [...] But we have also, continued the management consultant, run into a small inflation problem on account of the high level of leaf availability, which means that, I gather, the current going rate has something like three deciduous forests buying on ships peanut. [...] So in order to obviate this problem, he continued, and effectively revalue the leaf, we are about to embark on a massive defoliation campaign, and...er, burn down all the forests. I think youll all agree thats a sensible move under the circumstances.” ― Douglas Adams, The Ultimate Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
