The West came up with some favourable rules for themselves then judged the rest of the world by those rules. Great graph, it highlights the "West" quite well.

Shame it doesn't tell me ANYTHING about corruption :(
- arjn 14y agoDo elaborate.
- antihero 14y agoWell, paying someone a few thousand quid to look the other way when your kid does a hit and run, and dining ministers and taking them on holiday to get time to lobby them for your arms company?
- arjn 14y agoWhat/Who are you referring to ?
- Volpe 14y agoThis is of course just my opinion, just as that graph is someone else's opinion (i.e. there are no universal 'truths' here). Lobbying (as in paid lobbyists) should be viewed as corruption. Going to war with countries for no (valid) reason (in the age of the UN) should be corruption. Breaking any international agreement and pretending you still follow them should be corruption. Imprisoning people because they expose your corruption, should be corruption. I think even with that small list I'm pretty sure most of "The West" would be red.
