Democracies are doomed. As soon as the politicians offer the key to the treasure house to the voters in exchange for being elected (and/or re-elected) the economic system of the country will come apart.

So what will happen is some kind of ad hoc fascistic system to "save" the economy, like what happened to Germany during the hyperinflation. We all know what came of that debacle .
