I was reading the book Boomerang by Michael Lewis where he talks about the crazy financial decisions that were made in countries like Iceland, Greece and Ireland, when I read this quote and thought I should share it:
Democracy destroys itself because it abuses its right to freedom and equality. Because it teaches its citizens to consider audacity as a right, lawlessness as a freedom, abrasive speech as equality and anarchy as progress.
- Isocrates (436-338 BC)
Kind of true....right?
