That's my point, I deal with a wide variety of socio-economic systems on a daily basis and our flawed capitalism is by far the most enlightened and least corrupt that I deal with. Many U.S. businesses have a difficult time doing business internationally because the corruption is so embedded in the system and we don't know how to react to it. India is a lot of fun, lots of times, they really get your appetite going by starting out with these huge requirements and they negotiate on those huge requirements and then the deal shrinks to about 1/100th of the size and they still expect the same deal. Not an example of corruption, but certainly an example of everything not being on the table when negotiating. You want corruption try China. Very interesting system there. The system is corrupt to the core and of course, it is a communist country. But, I have never met an individual Chinese who wasn't a staunch capitalist.
