&gt;&gt; Not being asked for bribe is not necessarily absence of corruption. For a crash course on How Real world corruption works. Great place to start is <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;Economics&#x2F;comments&#x2F;c84bp&#x2F;how_realwo.." rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;Economics&#x2F;comments&#x2F;c84bp&#x2F;how_realwo...</a>.<p>Having in lived in India most of my life, I don&#x27;t need to read an Economist article to find out what corruption is. Want to get a passport? Pay a bribe. Want to construct an addition to you house? Pay a bribe (or just do it illegally). The list goes on. In countries like US, Sweden, Canada, etc at least you&#x27;re not hammered with corruption requests in your day-to-day existence.
