Read the following passage and answer the questions 11 to 15 :
All political systems need to mediate the relationship between private wealthand public power. Those that fail risk a dysfunctional government captured by wealthyinterests. Corruption is one symptom of such failure with private willingness-to-paytrumping public goals. Private individuals and business firms pay to get routine servicesand to get to the head of the bureaucratic queue. They pay to limit their taxes, avoidcostly regulations, obtain contracts at inflated prices and get concessions and privatisedfirms at low prices. If corruption is endemic, public officials - both bureaucrats andelected officials - may redesign programmes and propose public projects with few publicbenefits and many opportunities for private profit. Ofcourse, corruption, in the senseof bribes, pay-offs and kickbacks, is only one type of government failure. Efforts topromote "good governance"must be broader than anti-corruption campaigns.Governments may be honest but inefficient because no one has an incentive to workproductively, and narrow elites may capture the state and exert excess influence onpolicy. Bribery may induce the lazy to work hard and permit those not in the innercircle of cronies to obtain benefits. However, even in such cases, corruption cannot beconfined to ±functional² areas. It will be a temptation whenever private benefits arepositive. It may be a reasonable response to a harsh reality but, over time, it can facilitatea spiral into an even worse situation.
