Key Points
Different places in the world have different concepts of corruption.
A lot of corruption is created by poorly conceived or implemented laws.
Some actions may be legal but should be still be considered institutional corruption.
Just trying to catch corrupt individuals doesn’t work; we need to change the rules that incentivize or allow corruption.
If you can anticipate corruption you can help prevent it.
Rather than immediately reporting corruption, sometimes it’s better to simply steer the conversation another way.
