Ayn Rand...Atlas Shrugged

[HL]

--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.

I read this book when I was too young to fully understand it.

On my list of read again books.

...thanks for concern....

But back to the quote--you could also add your thoughts.
