Is corruption mostly a good thing?
#3
RE: Is corruption mostly a good thing?
At first I would agree, but thinking about the situation in Croatia or Romania, FlatAssembler may be referring to small corruption. Small corruption is what he described but without mentioning the 'tipping', a process in which you pay a police officer 10 bucks to forgive your speeding, or the public servant to rush your papers, or the ER doctor to move you up the waitting line, this kind of corruption.

Small corruption may seem harmless but it hits the poor hard, given that they don't have the financial power to partake as well as other social classes putting them into a clear disadvantage. Not related to small corruption, it is worth noting that U.S. corruption may be described as clientelism while Central and Est European corruption will be best described as a kleptocracy.
