Corruption is mostly tied to poverty, not economic systems.<p>I currently live in the Middle East, and I don&#x27;t see the connection you are claiming. I see poor Indians being brought in to  build skyscrapers in Dubai (one of the most capitalist areas of the world) and Qatar, living in shipping containers, having their passports taken by their employers (trapping them in the country); religious laws that protect rapists over their victims. The major sources of corruption here are not linked to the economic systems, but to greed and religion.
