Whatever is the correct historic comparison, I don't think there is any top-down cure for corruption.

I take peace from the fact that, at least until my country gets into Switzerland level of corruption, it's a known fact that there is room to improve.




Switzerland? The nation where all those money made from corruption is deposited for safe keeping?


Yes, take a look at their politics. There's a reason they are that rich, and it is not because half a dozen people benefit from international corruption.

But if you know of an even better example, great, share it.

Switzerland is rich because a hell of a lot of people benefit from international corruption.

Singapore. And possibly Lichtenstein.
