The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Chapter 15

By Douglas Adams

Chapter 15

The planet Magrathea, according to the Guide, is a legendary planet that people don't believe in anymore.
However, back in the day, it was a planet that existed to serve the rich people of the galaxy. That is, once people got a certain amount of money, they found life on the regular planets rather dull.
So Magrathea stepped up and started making custom planets for rich people.
This service was very expensive, so pretty soon Magrathea had all the money and no one else could afford their services. That dunked the galactic economy into a huge depression.
And then Magrathea disappeared.
