The Problems of Corruption, Clientelism, and Favoritism in Transition Economies: Notes for Monte Carlo*)

English Pages, 26. 4. 2001

Corruption, clientelism and favoritism have co-existed with human society for a long time and in certain respect represent a permanent feature of human society. They appeared together with the government (or with any other public authority) and with the politicization of economic life. They are connected with the birth of politicians and especially of public officials, of bureaucrats of all types, with the possibility to influence or even to organize economic transactions without being owners (which means without being directly motivated to get the best price or to maximize other people’s welfare). It is not a new phenomenon, what may perhaps be new is the current exaggerating of the problem and exploiting it for political purposes.
