That's quite independant of religion, just a property of countries that aren't developped enough. Most of South America, Africa, and Nepal (from more personal experience) all have high corruption. China is an open Oligarchy, so already a step ahead of Erdogan, though they are slowly reducing corruption (as expected, as the the nation becomes more developped.)

 

Money in itself isn't enough - what you need is a well-educated middle class with high-quality jobs.

Well, China's "anti-corruption" efforts are actually just Xi Jinping attempting to eliminate the opposition. China is still very corrupt, and shows no signs of that changing.

True enough, I guess. I do think that corruption is getting slowly scaled down to the economy's size, though, so it the same sums have less impact.
