I never said I was surprised at the
existence of corruption. I'm surprised by how the system naturally promotes corruption. There's a difference. Greed is what drives capitalism, there is no doubt to this point. It operates under the assumption that everyone operates in their own self interest, which is a kind way of saying Greed. It doesn't spill in, it is generated. This greed then goes on to inspire more injustices.
But whatever, I'm tired of talking business ethics.
