Economic organizations can generate interest in their own continuation. [causal]

Yet there is at the same time no good reason not to think that its economic organization is — like Japan’s, which has recovered in several fundamental respects the character it had assumed in the 1930s — one which has already generated a sufficient interest in its continuation.
