One of my biggest frustrations while building my first company (KinoSol) was the amount of corruption we faced, in getting our solar food dehydrators to where they needed to be. We had dehydrators in 50 countries--almost all developing countries.
Example 1: while our dehydrators were solar powered and should have been exempt from import tax, the port (government) official wouldn't release the product until they were bribed.
Example 2: In many places, when we would ask about a price, it was always more if I asked, compared to one of our team members who was native to the area.
When @pmarca mentioned the book, The WEIRDest People in the World, I picked it up on Audible.
