What were the markets for rail, automobiles, and oceanliners like?
My point is, people won't invest in existing markets if they are contracting or if they are up one day and down the next. Without the spending to support these markets, they are a huge risk, and investors don't like that kind of risk, so they sit on their money.

To keep the pump primed. An old fashion water pump required a outside source of water to get the pump to start producing water. If you consume the outside source of water, you are screwed. It is often easier to keep you pump operating than it is to re-start it.

No one said to stop the pump, but no one's going to build aqueducts if not enough people are drinking the water.
