Corruption leads to poverty

The map above shows the corruption index of countries around the world… red is bad, white is good and Australia is a faint pink. Notice how all the countries in red are the poorest?

Here I was blaming factors like natural resources, climate, lack of education etc as factors that kept countries in poverty… but it seems that the more corrupt a country is, the poorer the people. I’d like to say more but I have a march to attend, dreadlocks to grow and a flag to burn so in the meantime you can learn more about how to fight corruption here.
