Corruption is a cultural issue. It's not a coincidence that all Northern European majority countries rank very highly in lack of corruption indices.

You can't say "There's nothing wrong with Indian people, they just have big corruption problems". The Indian people ARE the source of these corruption problems.

Have to agree with this point here - corruption is to a large extent cultural. Looking exclusively at my background, a large reason behind why our home country was so bad was due to corruption and that attitude was 100% reflected in the people. To this day, I notice a lot of the older people who came from my home country and the first gen have the whole "tribute culture" mentality which is a product of a country that ran on corruption.

That said, I see where ChatGPT is coming from in that poor institutions and systems are fertile breeding grounds for corruption, but ultimately you cannot dismiss the impact of culture on the development of said institutions. My grandfather always says, "One thing about Australians, they are very honest people". When he came here he couldnt get over how people just did things without expecting a "tribute" (i.e. bribe) in return. Australian's just did things because that was their job and the pay was all the reward they needed.

Ive always said governments are reflective of the populations they serve. Take housing affordability in Australia - the reason successive governments fail to deal with the issue is down to the fact that half the electorate benefits from high house prices and the other half is negatively impacted. As a result, you have flaky policy on the matter. It's the same with corruption - a sizeable part of the population benefit from it so that is therefore reflected in institutions. Those institutions degrade and breed more corruption.
