The concept of corruption

[Jurriaan Bendien <bendien@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Corruption is defined as "the abuse of public power for private gain."
Alexander Sack, the author and legal scholar of the doctrine of odious
debts, included in his definition of odious debts, "loans incurred by
members of the government or by persons or groups associated with the
government to serve interests manifestly personal -- interests that are
unrelated to the interests of the State."
