This is too simplistic due to second order effects. E.g. visibly doing those things makes it far more likely other people in slightly lower positions of power will try it on, many crossing the boundaries of what they can get away with. Then the corruption starts along those fuzzy boundaries until it infects everything else.
- qikInNdOutReply 4y agoClassic corruption infects mostly along the "i can extract value from him by threatening to tell the law" lines. We are worser of then that now, because the politics and the law production is corrupted. And to reduce that a start would be to focus on the law generated, to have that uncorrupted. If there is laws that forbid politicians from taking money, classic corruption might even reemerge.
