Ayn Rand on Society’s Morality: A Stark Warning Against Corruption and Collapse

„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 a self-sacrifice – you may know that your society is doomed.“

Ayn RandAyn Rand explains how moral decay and corruption signal a society’s downfall – a thoughtful warning against the abuse of power.
