Ideas Worth Spreading | Shaffi Mather, A New Way to Fight Corruption (TED)



Shaffi Mather, who became a social entrepreneur in India by providing emergency response, life-support ambulances, has a concept to change and directly confront corruption, a very common and substantial obstacle in many societies.

The idea is simple, but perhaps powerful.  Make it cheaper to pay someone to fight corruption instead of paying someone who is causing the corruption.  The for-profit model could give a person financial incentive to save the limit of corruption.  Corruption appears have an unlimited supply chain, so even if you could reduce it, won't there always be a need to fight it?
