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

My personal story of fleeing the plague of corruption and bureaucracy in the post-Yugoslavia era.

What do you do when you grow old enough one day to realize that the society you were brought up in runs on deep institutionalized corruption? What do you do when the realization of your own dreams is dependent upon throwing your own moral principles out the window and playing in that same unethical game?

My story begins back in the Summer of 2005, just after I had completed a nine-year education in the United States and returned home in my native Bosnia and Herzegovina. Armed with two science degrees and four years of work experience, I was eager to be back at home, to look for opportunities and to begin changing the world around me.

Individualism - the only political philosophy that truly protects women's rights, because it regards all people as equal and sovereign individuals.

Bosnia and Herzegovina's ranking in the Heritage Foundation and the Wall Street Journal's Economic Freedom Index for 2013 is nothing to be excited about.  While its overall ranking of our country has gone from 104th in 2012 to today's 103rd place, this score is totally insignificant to the goal of making a better business climate and increasing the economic well being in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The following are excerpts from the report:

Just the other day on Croatian website Dokumentarci.com.hr I came across an Austrian documentary titled “Let's Make Money” (see below) that was produced in 2008. For some odd reason it didn't come to my attention much earlier. Though it is kinda late to comment on it, I feel the need to say a few things, especially because this film largely caters to the conventional collectivist wisdom that blames “greedy” capitalism for all the economic turmoils of today.
