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
rich more easily by graft than by work, and your laws no longer
protect you against them, but protect them against you...you may know
that your society is doomed.

She got that right. That Frontline Warning about Brooksley Born and the OTC Derivatives, was very interesting when she (Rand) was portrayed as Alan Greenspan's mentor. What a shame this was not HIS comment and thought-process, but Rand's!
