Jaz what's your source? you're really good at C+Ping right wing articles and commentators. :) :)
i have been reading Jeffery Sachs a lot recently (not hugely liked by the right) and he has some interesting views on corruption and economic growth. He turns the conventional wisdom of political corruption and poverty on its head. i.e. governance is poor when a country is poor and this poverty is greatly influenced by external actors. he talks alot about increased, targeted, well regulated and effective aid. He also clarifies the geographic issues etc.

and as a friend of mine said to me recently Europe and the US developed into economic powerhouses in a climate of corruption with a powerful elite shitting on the majority.
but this could go on all day...
