Rotberg quotes Dantès Bellegarde, a Haitian who wrote critically of his own society in 1901:

Everyone has two faces—one for those above him and one for those below. Flattery is preferred to frankness. A friend is abandoned as soon as he is no longer useful. Those in power also appear to have lost any ability to discriminate, for they are taken in by all manner of lies, they give favors to those who deceive them, and they are angry with those who are too proud to sink to the indignities of flattery . . .86
