"Graft and corruption have both a demand and a supply side..."

By John Ballard

The little picture is that a private for-profit company in India provides emergency ambulance services similar to the 911 emergency response service in the US, but without any public money.

The big picture is that the same business model can be used to fight bribery and other corrupt practices which cripple many developing countries.

The quote I used for the post title is at 5:30. This is worth a look. Thanks, Abbas.
