Quite it is people that introduce corruption; but I do think that systems such as capitalism and liberal democracy (yes when balanced and healthy) are preferable to say communism as they don't try and force an ideal world or pretend that people can be wholly "good" or "perfect". Every time in history this has been attempted, disaster has followed.

I think capitalism as a general system has proved to be the most stable and brought prosperity to the largest number; but yes no system is without casuslties. I make a huge distinction between a capitalist system and the current, hugely unhealthy corporate monopolies that run the world.
