Why Are Their Bribes So Small?
“Bribery is the most rational way to operate in a capitalist democracy, where for a small political fee massive profits can be generated (…) Attention is correctly focused on politicians. They betray the public trust when they take bribes. They must be removed from office. But there is far too little attention paid to corporations, for whom this is a normal practice. One executive might be fired or another transferred, but the corporation itself goes on with tax crimes, money laundering, and bribery. It cannot be said that these crimes ‘distort’ the system. They are, in fact, the system.”
