public property to cronies for less than its value, that's called
"economic reform”.

I’ll fares the lands
to hastening ills a day
Where wealth
accumulates and men decay
Princes and Lords
may flourish or may fade –
A breath can make
them as a breath has made
But a bold
peasantry, their country’s pride
When once destroyed,
can never be supplied
Oliver
Goldsmith
