Bribery is justifiably condemned, and is the object of a global legal
campaign. This article asks whether payment of a bribe can ever be
justified. In order to answer that question, the article first looks at three
tropes of reasons for criminalizing bribery: as a reflection of morality, to
preserve the connection between people and their government, and to
prevent harm. The article then examines and dismisses two common
excuses for bribery: the need to pay a bribe to conduct business, and the
optimal level of legal enforcement. The article then examines arguments
for paying bribes in authoritarian regimes, and concludes that such
arguments must be treated with caution. Finally, the article considers
bribes paid by Oskar Schindler to save the lives of Jewish workers.
Schindler’s bribes demonstrate that some bribes can be justified. Such
bribes do not present a new checklist for evaluating bribery, nor do they
represent a new trope of thinking. Rather, unique circumstances raise such
bribes above the rules against and concerns about paying bribes.

Corruption hinders both public and private sector productivity. It perpetuates inequality and poverty, impacting well-being and the distribution of income and undermining opportunities to participate equally in social, economic and political life.
Integrity is essential for building strong institutions and assures citizens that the government is working in their interest, not just for the select few. Integrity is not just a moral issue, it is also about making economies more productive, public sectors more efficient, societies and economies more inclusive. It is about restoring trust, not just trust in government, but trust in public institutions, regulators, banks, and corporations.
