Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged

Quote from Ayn Rand's, "Atlas Shrugged", 1957

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."
