When enough food exists and people cannot get it by honest labour, the state is rotten, and no effort of language will say how rotten it is.
But for a banker or professor to tell you that the country cannot do this, that or the other because it lacks money is as black and foetid a lie, as grovelling and imbecile, as it would be to say it cannot build roads because it has no kilometres."
Ezra Pound
Here is the complete essay.
