This isn’t true because the US government is by far the most corrupt government to have ever existed on planet earth of all time. The US is founded on genocide and holocaust of Native American Indians. Metal of honors provided for slaughtering of innocent women and children. To this day, the mass holocaust that makes Hitler look like a school girl, still not taught in school. 500 years since 1492 and still corrupt so I don’t buy this bullshit. If your foundation is bloodshed then your government will forever be corrupt.

Good luck with distributing taxes into your economies. Everything will be distributed between the pockets of the same people. Punish them by publicly hanging. This is how it will end

Corruption in Nigeria has moved on. It’s still endemic but there is nothing which would entice me to invest there. Now Nigerians deal in stolen phones. There is not even one prosperous Country in sub Saharan Africa.

I can see the connection that the speaker is making, that lack of economic prosperity leads to corruption, but he forgot the unique South Korean element: the chaebols. chaebols are 8 elite families that run corporations with a cozy relationship with the South Korean government and, at times, the South Korean military. Basically (I suggest you do your own research) the chaebols are companies in a free market economy but are playing with a different rule book that gives them an uncompetitive advantage. South Korean has the nick-name of The Republic of Samsung as 1/5 of the population works for that company. I don’t think South Korean is a model to hold up without mentioning the chaebols and the costs that come with it.

Corruption comes with consequences. If the money to corruption ratio isn’t right, no one will do it. It’s not worth the discomfort. Thanks for something we’ve all known

Alternatively, we could just cure the Psychopathy and Narcissism that drive corruption. All we need is a genomic vaccine that replaces DRD4 with DRD 1-3-5-6-7.
Corruption/Psychopathy are just evolutionary survival mechanisms for already corrupt societies, but the also embed and worsen corruption. Remove it, remove the cancer.

This is very true, my father work in govt department. He used to take bribe just to meet our family daily needs. Then after many years he started real-estate business along with the work it paid off really well. Now he helps people in return never takes a single rupee

Great points but Nigerian government have so much money from oil but it’s not reinvested in the country . In some country yes lack of money is the source of corruption but in some countries it’s lack of true leadership foreign interventions and weak law enforcement is the problem

I did find it funny that he characterized Nigeria as a poor country when it has the highest GDP of the entire continent

Death penalty for the corrupt is the only solution . But no cat would want to trap itself . So it will never pass as a law

India is very corrupt. You can’t do anything without bribery. Getting a politicians punished for corruption in India is nearly impossible.

When I was in Ghana I asked a teenage boy, ‘What do you want to be when you grow up?’
He responded instantly and enthusiastically
“I wanna to be a politician!”
I was very impressed and asked what do you want to do as a politician. He responded bluntly
“That is how you get all the money”

NO!! Material prosperity is NOT a solution. Only when the many people that have little demand govts that protect both the common good AND the ecology by rejecting private wealth inequity and extractive business practices, only then will earth, and its humans, achieve a sustainable, just and corruption free peace.

Has making demands ever worked for the poor? Think about all the uprisings in history and what changes they actually achieved long term. Activist movements are inevitably spoiled with violence from inside and outside. It may change who rules but it doesn’t change the corruption and exploitation. Like he says, what has worked are individuals daring organize collectively to solve problems (i e. , enterprise).
