In this eye-opening discussion, the speaker explores the hidden cost of corruption and its devastating impact on economies. Using a simple business analogy, they demonstrate how corruption can bleed resources and strangle businesses, preventing any real progress or profit. From small bribes to widespread theft, the accumulation of these acts destroys economies, as seen in many impoverished African and South American countries. The conversation also touches on the dangers of a “mafia democracy,” where corruption thrives unchecked, ultimately leading to collapse. This reflection offers a sobering look at how corruption undermines both businesses and entire nations.
