Legal Theft: How the West Perfected Corruption and Called It Law

Corruption isn't confined to developing nations—it's a perfected art in the West. While politicians in poorer countries are called thieves for taking public money, in the West, they pass laws, sit in suits, and make it "legal." From questionable government contracts to the financial crises, Western leaders have redefined corruption as "policy." It's not bribery—it's "career progression." It's not theft—it's "public-private partnerships." And it's not fraud—it's "entrepreneurial risk-taking."

In this blog post, we explore how the West has turned corruption into a polished system, hidden under layers of legal jargon and corporate buzzwords. The truth is, the biggest thieves don't hide in dark corners—they sit in air-conditioned offices, making policies that steal from you in broad daylight.

Read on to uncover the truth about how the West's legalised looting affects you, and why corruption has gone corporate.
