In quite a few of the Discworld novels actually. I don’t recognize this as being an exact quote from any of them, but the general theme is brought up with some regularity across the whole series using various alternative wordings.– Austin HemmelgarnCommented Nov 12, 2023 at 1:22

1@AustinHemmelgarn Note that the national anthem of Ankh Morepork features the line "we bankrupt all invaders, we sell them souvenirs". Yeah, it's not a subtle theme. ;)– Simon GeardCommented Nov 13, 2023 at 4:18

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Type the name of the science fictional or fantastical work your question is about (Example:
star-wars).For questions not specific to any one work, use concept tags to describe your question (Example:
story-identification).Tagging rules:
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. story-identification), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
