The systematic architecture of global corruption and how to dismantle it

How to expose the corrupt - Peter Eigen · 16:13 · Video: TED-Ed · Watch at the source

In short: Why do some of the world's most baffling social problems persist? Peter Eigen explores how pervasive government corruption, often intertwined with global corporations, creates systemic issues—and details the strategic counter-attack led by Transparency International.

Eigen argues that corruption is not merely a series of isolated incidents but a systematic and pervasive force. It often functions as a 'hand-in-glove' partnership between government entities and global companies, creating deep-seated social problems that are difficult to solve through surface-level fixes.

The video highlights the work of Transparency International, the organization Eigen led to combat these structures. By understanding the mechanics of how corruption is institutionalized, activists and citizens can develop more effective strategies to expose and dismantle these networks.
