Corruption as a theoretical and socio-economic issue
Abstract
Corruption is a universal, multifaceted and multifarious phenomenon that has numerous
factors to its name. Effects of corruption, even if at a similar level in particular countries, differ as
well. The causes, however, are always the same: the existence of rare goods - including quasi-public
ones - distributed outside the market, and people responsible for the distribution. Corruption
can be analyzed as an economic phenomenon (within the context of the economic theory of human
behaviour, theory of games, institutionalism, theory of property rights and transaction costs)
of the supply-demand-, costs- and property relations. As a sociological phenomenon it provides
a context for exchange processes (naturalization, familiarization of social relations within a noninstitutionalized
system of interest expression and vis-a-vis social anomy). As a psychologic-cultural
phenomenon, corruption creates a specific atmosphere of establishing contacts, it confers
peculiar features and defines the effects of such phenomena in the system. With the additional
element of the gift institution, corruption within Polish medical care is yet another issue. In Poland
corruption can be analyzed in subject-relational and object aspects (eg penetration of goods
such as concessions, information, custom duties, reductions, certificates, norms). The said analyses
allow to formulate the chief thesis of the paper, namely, that corruption has a positive impact
(eg as an element of competitiveness, pluralization, acceleration of deal making, limiting the distance).
However, the negative impact prevails: in this paper defined as a loss of economical and
social alternative inherent in economic growth, pathology of institutions, then human attitudes
towards the economy and the state which are pertinent to the development of the market and the
civic society. Yet, this is a process - though long - one can fight, even if it involves a number
of tools, starting with those of legal and economic nature.
