Abstract
Economic crimes in the contemporary legal order, beyond a mere monetary offense, are structured as broken windows within the body of governance, eroding social capital through the disruption of distributive justice. This study problematizes the relationship between economic crimes and societal decay, focusing on the fundamental question of how economic crimes affect the structures of social cohesion and national solidarity. The findings indicate that disruption in the financial system, by creating a sense of relative deprivation and class polarization, transforms institutional trust into systemic anomie and leads to the formation of protest subcultures. The decline of work ethics and the erosion of collective identity are inevitable consequences of normalizing rent-seeking at managerial levels, undermining national resilience against crises. Safeguarding national solidarity requires a transition from symbolic criminal policies toward a democratic, supervision-based model and the establishment of comprehensive transparency. The reproduction of organic cohesion can only be realized through impartial treatment of high-level corrupt actors and the restoration of a sense of legal justice among all citizens, as economic security is considered a robust barrier against threats to national stability
