VI. Conclusions and Implications
In summary, income inequality is likely to be a significant and no less important
determinant of corruption than economic development (and thus many other variables
for that matter). ... Inequality increases corruption, which in turn deters investment and growth.
- jerkstate 2y ago“Correlation is not causation” The paper shows that wealth inequality and corruption are correlated, and pontificates that maybe reducing inequality with wealth redistribution might reduce corruption, but offers no evidence that this is the case. Your chain of reasoning is not really supported by the paper.
