i red one economical theory (
what it called) that says that degree of corruption in one state is negative exponentional to the economical growth indexes, like inflation and % of bnp
that means that fucked up countrys (like in south america) have big corruption not because they are retarded, but because their economy is bad
actually this is one of those theorys that dont have any reasonable solution or as ancient chinise say: snake that bite itsown tail (never-ending-story)
