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 Rand
Kada vidite da se trgovina vrši, ne putem saglasnosti, već prinudom...
- kada vidite da vam je za proizvodnju potrebna dozvola od ljudi koji ne proizvode ništa...
- kada vidite da novac ne ide onima koji se bave robom, već onima koji se bave prodavanjem političkih usluga...
- kada vidite da ljudi postaju bogatiji ucjenjivanjem i čerupnjem nego li radom, da i vaši zakoni ne štite vas od njih, već njih štite od vas...
- kada vidite da korupcija biva nagrađivana a poštenje postaje samopožrtvovanje...
- tada možete biti sigurni da je vaše društvo osuđeno na propast.
July 1st 2013 was celebrated as a great success for the Republic of Croatia. Well, that is what we were told by Croatia’s major media communications groups. After more than a decade of striving, the Republic of Croatia finally became a member of the European Union. The truth is that only a smaller number of citizens celebrated that day. The vast majority of the citizens of Republic of Croatia did not experience the very act of accession as a success of their country, especially not as success by its own merit. And with a good reason; the Republic of Croatia is not a successful country.
Prvi srpnja 2013 slavio se kao veliki uspjeh Republike Hrvatske. Tako barem govore svi značajniji dnevni i tjedni mediji u Republici Hrvatskoj. Nakon više od desteljeća ustrajanja, Republika Hrvatska postala je članica Europske Unije. Međutim, točan podatak je da je na taj dan slavio samo manji broj građana. Većina građana čin ulaska u Europsku Uniju nije doživjela kao uspjeh svoje zemlje, a posebice ne kao svoj uspjeh. I to s razlogom. Republika Hrvatska nije uspješna zemlja. Niti će ju samo članstvo u Europskoj Uniji učiniti uspješnom.

Milton Friedman i Phil Donahue diskutuju o percepciji da je kapitalizam pohlepan sistem, i kako kapitalizam nije ništa pohlepniji nego bilo koji drugi sistem, premda su ljudi koji žive u kapitalizmu prosperitetniji. odlomak iz intervjua 1979 godine.
Transkript:
Phil Donahue:
Kada vidite nepravednu distribuciju bogatstva širom svijeta, očajna stradanja miliona ljudi u nerazvijenim zemljama, kada vidite tako malo onih koji imaju i toliko mnogo onih koji nemaju, kada vidite pohlepu i koncentraciju moći, da li ste ikada na trenutak posumnjali u kapitalizam i da li je pohlepa dobra ideja na čijem principu društvo treba funkcionirati?
Milton Friedman and Phil Donahue discuss greed, the perception that capitalism is greedy, and how capitalism is no more greedy than any other system yet its people are better off. An excerpt from an interview with Phil Donahue in 1979.
Transcript:
Phil Donahue:
When you see around the globe the maldistribution of wealth, the desperate plight of millions of people in underdeveloped countries, when you see so few haves and so many have-nots, when you see the greed and the concentration of power, did you ever have a moment of doubt about capitalism and whether greed's a good idea to run on?
