This striking chart from the Economist exhibits a tight correlation between economic freedom and corruption perceptions which illustrates a very important message: MORE economic freedom translates to LESSER Corruption.
The trend of democratization of economic opportunities through lesser interventionism or reduced politicization of the markets has been mostly influenced by the snowballing forces of decentralization through globalization and information and technology driven information-digital age than through an implied dynamic of having more socially and economically “conscientious” autocracies.
A large number of the “Most improved” in Doing Business rankings according to the World Bank (also from the same Economist article) have also been the most dynamic countries in terms of information and technology development based on the data from the International Telecommunications Union.
