In this framework, corruption is no longer an appalling phenomenon but a logical corollary of a political culture where double-standard morality is well entrenched in the hands of feudal masters who cannot be immoral. In this condition they are the framers and definers, the interpreters and dispensers, of morality who, of course, naturally benefit from social and economic circumstances expressed according to their whims and wishes. This political morality directly affects the society’s economic facet. Economic advantages and opportunities are automatically bestowed upon, enjoyed and, in most cases, monopolized by the feudal elites, invincible in their coats of mail of power. This condition is controlled by a cabal that manipulates a locale’s economic ambiance. By and large, they call the economic shots, being in charge of the general run of businesses and practically all income-generating ventures, whether or not these enterprises are legitimate.
