If you have trouble getting common goods, if you have trouble fighting for things which once were self-evident, if you find your economy trying hard to sell anything, if you find your employers struggling for a purpose to let the workers come to the factory, if you produce all around the clock and the last one to let the products end up to is your local citizen, if you sell everything to countries abroad and it still is not enough, and if your local citizens are hardly able to pay for the nessecary, your system is before a breakdown.
