But is not the case that it inevitable that it leads to large amounts of corruption. As we can see that in the real world many of the most economically free governments are also amoung the least corrupt.
It seems to me that any system of economic organisation that has a goverment will have some level of that problem, its absolutly impossible not to have the problem in concept.
The question is what system would you want where you can effecivly minimise the power of these effects. I would argue that having a small less powerful governmnet that is bound by rules (constiution for example) is the most resistant.
As soon a government gets bigger monitoring gets harder, oppertunity for corruption get larger, negative effects of bad regulation have larger scope and so on.
- AnimalMuppet 9y ago> As we can see that in the real world many of the most economically free governments are also among the least corrupt. I suspect that "among the least corrupt" is necessary for "most economically free". Or to put it another way: Corruption destroys economic freedom, because those economically on top at the moment use the corruption to write rules that keep others from being able to challenge them.
