Mine this Player Comment for Points :
FALL OF RAPTURE :
Rapture does have some forms of law, like no contact with The Surface. Rapture is not Anarchy, as many Players are made to believe.
The fall of Rapture was not nearly as easy as it seems. The game only touches upon many of these things through audio diaries.
Rapture was good place to live, and lacked so many of the imposed encumbrances of The Surface World. 
There still would be unfortunate people (who always exist), but they would have opportunities to get back on their feet. Rapture existed without government ineffectiveness and interference sucking resources from the Society, leaving more available to the Economy. The lazy would find little refuge in leeching off of others, and one would think fewer of them would have gone to Rapture. With fewer destitute people, the allowed Charities would have less of a burden, and many could concentrate on People's improvement.
This was still a time when many saw begging for government assistance and becoming addicted to parasitism as shemeful..
You have to realize that the fall of Rapture did NOT happen overnight, in fact it took years to fall after being built. The construction started in 1946 and the city didn't fall into 'civil war' until 1959 (well Dec 31, 1958) starting with that bomb attack at the Kashmir -- Before that there were 12 + years of relative peace. Ryan had cut off contact with The Surface years before to maintain secrecy, to keep out 'undesirables' and foreign governments. It wasn't until 1958 that Fontaine truly became a threat because of his Smuggling Operations being done from Fontaine Fisheries. Then the persona of 'Atlas' was created, and he starts pushing propaganda against Ryan and the whole city begins to go to hell.
Had the terrorism not begun, Rapture would have very shortly eclipsed the technological living standards of every other country on The Surface. The earlier disruption of the economy with the phasing out of construction and the new isolation Had been weathered. Ryan had to consider that a lower class may be provoked/incited to rise up, but they already had much leverage in a Free Market. Many opportunities were made available to them. Corruption might take hold in his city, but with the Governments size and power being minimized, so would the possible extent of that evil.
Objectivism is NOT a free license for criminal behavior. Ryan figured his like-minded contemporaries would remain true to the cause ... Fontaine did not, and then was given in the story a terrible weapon to attack Rapture and Ruan with so to loot the place. Greed, an essential right in Rapture, was not its downfall, it was a sociopath taking advantage and working Rapture's vulnerabilities. 
Falling Columbia :
In comparison, in Infinite's Columbia, the Vox were preparing for rebellion under Daisy well before Booker arrived. He simply acted as a catalyst to speed it up by emboldening them.
Columbia, while pretending to be the image of American Exceptionalism, was more of a Monarchy than a Democratic Republic - Not really American anything. The overall structure, what little they detail, sees Comstock as a Prophet King who doles out rights as he sees fit. You speak out ? - You get silenced. Rapture, by contrast, welcomed open speech, even critics of Ryan from before the shootout with Fontaine, were debated as opposed to confined to prison. Only those who actively campaigned against the unimpaired Rights of the Citizens of Rapture were cast out - sent into Exile.
