520 _aBribes, tribes, and markets that fail... These three go hand in hand in countries struggling to switch from a state-controlled economy to the free market, according to Robert Klitgaard. More than fifty countries in Eastern Europe, Africa, Asia, and Latin America are attempting that switch so-called structural adjustment. It's nothing less than a worldwide economic revolution, and now the time has come for Adjusting to Reality. In the developing world, corrupt governments, ethnic strife, and weak markets are the reality. And where markets are flawed, even economic reform does not automatically improve the lives of peasants, the urban poor, or oppressed ethnic and religious minorities. In fact, when countries attempt to decentralize, allow freer trade, and improve flows of information, some problems become more apparent, not less.
