My country is very rich in oil and minerals but corruption is in power and they have destroyed our economy where being a professional has no value.

I sometimes wonder, is the corruption at the government level, or is it in the society? Would the average person given the opportunity, do much different than the average politician there now, or have they learned the same lessons over time and therefore, will act similar?

Any citizen who has the possibility of making a profit will undoubtedly do so, but sinking a nation is another level.
