When you see that trading is done,not by consent,but by compulsionwhen you see
That in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing
When you see 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 dont protect you against them,but protect them against youwhen you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice-you may know that your society is doomed
