I would add to this Tosh, that you know your country and institutions have a serious drug trade problem when Forbes begins including known narco barons in its rich list.
The problem, imo, is that the accumulation of wealth is now applauded by the elite no matter how it is accrued. And in a very obvious and clear way, Forbes has taken a giant step for greed-kind by de facto legitimizing the very worst criminal behaviour as acceptable social practice.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
