You May Know When Your Society Is Doomed"

**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 favors

**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.
