You're depressing me. :-( I thought I had a counterexample, but then thought of many counterexamples. Russia. It got richer and corrupter (or was the corruption simply more visible?). Many nations have become much more prosperous in the last 20 years, yet there has been no reduction in corruption. Mexico is definitely much better off- -and more corrupt. Yet I find it also difficult to believe that the US, Canada, Britain, Europe are really that different from other nations.
