The money ladder

There are contests you want to win, and those you don't. Last week the annual Asian corruption table was released. Indonesia edged out India and Vietnam at the top of the table. China levelled with Malaysia and Thailand, which says something about all 3 places. Hong Kong and Japan were virtually level towards the bottom of the ladder, with good ol' Singapore the wooden spooner.

What's most interesting is the lack of correlation between the economic/political systems and perceived corruption. The only correlation that matters appears to be GDP - the richer the country the lower the corruption. But which leads which?
