This paper analyzes corruption in the former socialist countries. The author highlights two main factors that increase corruption: production decline (the Schumpeter effect) and the change of the ruling forms (the Huntington effect). He concludes that the driver of both effects is the monetization of the centralized multi-tiered bartering system of the old socialist economies.
