A Global Witches’Brew. Norman A. Bailey

​Surviving a new world of debt, liquidity, corruption, money-laundering, and social entropy.

It is said that the great ottoman sultan, Suleiman the magnificent (1494–1566), was taught the following aphorism by his mother, and that he repeated it often in subsequent years:

To hold a land you need an army. To keep an army you must share out property. To have property you must have prosperous people. Only by just laws can you distribute the wealth. Only by laws can the people be protected. Land, army, property, laws. If one of these lacks, all four will soon lack. If all four lack, the land is lost.
