What It Takes to Clean Up Corruption

This chapter reviews four methods for cleaning up corruption and bureaucracy. The first method is cutting off funds to the offices of corrupt bureaucrats. The problem is, if the honest functionaries could not do anything with the old budget, they will be able to do even less with the new budget. Thus, technical demoralization gets worse. Second is the old Max Weber solution of imposing formal rational-technical bureaucracy, but this is very easy to undercut. Meanwhile, the third method is creating brand-new departments of young, idealistic uncorrupted officials. Fourth is civil service reform, which applies the Max Weber solution to every office in the government and requires massive economic growth.
