Corruption addressed from point of view of libertarianism

1. "Corruption of implementation" is when someone on public duty does something widely understood as illegal (besides unethical) as per the prevailing law, and this thing leads to harm. This may be a one-off odd incidence, or may have become commonplace, due to perverse incentives.

2. "Corruption of law" is when someone in public office receives instructions from top of the public office chain, to do something entirely legal, & yet that something introduces gross inefficiencies, disturbs something working well, creates perverse incentives within society, prevents spontaneous efficient institutions from emerging, benefits special interests at the cost of society, leads to harm.

3. "Corruption of purpose" is when someone closer to the top end of the public office chain is sleeping at his job. When he puts grossly insufficient efforts, takes almost no pains to discover efficiency enabling, and consequently the entire society faces avoidable inefficiencies.

When most people discuss corruption, they remain on the first level of corruption in their entire discussion. It's the second and third level of corruption at where libertarians want to bring their attention and focus.
