The problem with corruption is that it gets worse in a situation like this. When there's scarcity of money and opportunity (often caused by corruption), people get even more corrupted to make sure they take care of themselves before anyone else. Which makes things even worse.
How does one even break out of that cycle? Who is the first one to say "I'll give up my corrupt riches so everyone can have a more functioning society?"
