"'Oppression maketh a wise man mad; and a gift destroyeth the heart." until angry men become perfect savages and everyman a tyrant.
Why are things not as good as they were?
If we "enquire wisely concerning this". The answer is the corrupting power of the Saul syndrome when the "foolish" choose to oppress their neighbor through the covetous practices of legal charity.
They have no patience for the fervent charity of "The Way" of righteousness but choose to "Bite" one another with an appetite for the dainties and benefits of rulers who exercise authority until they are all devoured like "merchandise".
