What do you do? You wonder if you really need them in the first place.

Accept that for any value of political power y, there will be some corruption x.

Solve for the minimum of x. Don't get fooled by local minimums.

What about y = 0?

noonespecial3• 17 years ago

Yeah. I had been thinking of that. There should probably be a third term Z that has some sort of inverse proportionality relationship to y that represents cartels/warlords/etc that fill the power vacuum of a very low y situation. This would also cause x to be very high. (eg: Somalia)
