your society is doomed


this quote been wrote by Ayn Rand back in 1957. It is frightening how accurate the statement is today.


money is the barometer of a society's virtue

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 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.

money is so noble a medium that does not compete with guns and it does not make terms with brutality

it will not permit a country to survive as half-property, half-loot.
