Interesting and somewhat frustrating TED Talk on the universality of corruption and the difficulty of fighting it when forces like large banks and multi-national corporations like oil and gas companies are willing key players.  It should also be a sobering note to Americans in particular what their gluttonous appetite for wasting energy has done to other people around the world.
