Reminds me of a quote from the film The Usual Suspects-- "The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist."

The system remains that way in part because a large number of people are duped into believing it is in their best interest to keep the system in place, despite the minuscule probability of actually benefiting from it.

The book shows that a lot of the people who sustain that system (by writing the laws we are all subject to, but leaving convenient loopholes in them) do actually benefit quite a bit.
