"Do you wish to know when that day is
coming? Watch money. 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 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 self-sacrifice -- you may know
that your society is doomed. Money is so noble a medium that it 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." -- Ayn Rand (1905-1982) Author
