> I can't think of any structure centralized structure that wouldn't eventually be corrupted. Do you mean this literally? Like, if you were to start with a clean slate, free of all norms, premises, and axioms, you couldn't design a system that wouldn't be corrupted (which is different from a system being imperfect)? Heck, one obvious approach is to involve citizens, and make the death penalty a consequence for corruption in certain roles. I think this would substantially alter people's behavior. Something else we could do in conjunction with this: start teaching the public how to think skilfully so they are not so easily misled by people who are taught such things (in schools not available to the public).
