Great article! You say, "In Africa, and in the United States, the only way to fix corruption is by reducing and simplifying the laws." I agree; here in the United States, a measure of corruption, or rather, "legalized privilege," is our tax code. Those interests, corporate or individual, that can leverage resources to gain some exemption or credit in the IRS tax code will do so, and time only compounds the problem. A simpler tax code allows less opportunity for its exploitation. Once complex, one more tax credit is harder to notice. Complexity, like corruption, compounds itself.
I literally wrote on what opportunity faces Africa only last month. Good luck with your book!
Thank you so much for your comment, Victor! Your statement, "Complexity, like corruption, compounds itself" resonates with me. It's so true. I look forward to reading your post!
