    Makes sense. They usually have a regional monopoly, will go into price fixing or competitor elimination if they do not, get to control access to resources for money, and have laws to protect this activity with no oversight.

      Grain of salt taken... it doesn't list by what criteria they are measuring. Besides, I'd have Congress at the top of the list anyway. That and 'some' drug companies...

      Make a list of important things to do today.
      At the top of your list, put 'eat chocolate'
      Now, you'll get at least one thing done today

        They "assigned scores based on the companies’ anti-corruption and ethics policies."

        So, there's no real measure of whether the industries were actually corrupt, but only whether they had rules in place to protect against corruption.

        Somehow, I don't think that's quite the same thing.
