The idea that corruption is not really good comes from the very word, which derives from Latin for �?spoilage’.

It is quite easy to attribute everything to depravity of people as a community. However, Machiavelli wrote that people are essentially bad, and act well only when forced to do so. Whether you agree with the great humanist or not, you hardly can say that all his words are saturated with bitterness of practical experiences.
