"When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion;
when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing;
when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favours;
when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you;
when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice,
you may know that your society is doomed."
Ayn Rand,1958
