Crony capitalism? How many "genuinely capitalistic" corporations show moral qualms when it comes to exploiting (or even engineering) weak regulatory frameworks in under-developed areas and engaging in the time-honored tradition of buying local officials?

I'm not sure there'd have many corporations and, if so, buying local officials would be useless, as they'd have limited power in the first place.

I'm talking in general. "Really capitalistic" companies don't have issues with corruption, as long as it is not paired with protectionism.
