> And those examples in a country with over a billion people? You can find all those examples in Africa, Asia, South America, etc. And North America. And Europe. > Corrupt politicians? We have Presidents and PMs, senators and MPs openly retiring and joining the boards of companies they helped during their political career. You can't really call it corruption because it's just the system working as designed. Big business and Big government are intertwined and interdependent. State governments protect and isolate corporations from competition domestically and they use state power to protect 'national interests' internationally. In exchange for this politicians and high level bureaucrats get their cut. This is something that the state is designed specifically to do. Economic exploitation is the purpose of having centralized government. People used to be much more honest and aware of this sort of thing. During the era of president Wilson it was common to talk about how it was important for USA to eliminate 'wasteful competition' by consolidating businesses into national-sized entities that could more effectively represent USA interests internationally. It was felt that is USA was allowed to remain a hodge-podge of small to medium competing businesses that it would not be able to compete internationally with other nations. Nowadays it's a common belief that centralized democratic government is needed to counter the negative effects of corporate avarice instead of realizing that state government is necessary for these 'large corporations' to exist in the first place. Whether or not this is bad is a matter of perspective.
