Since you seem knowledgeable about this topic.

Would you say the system forces people to be like that or people are the reason why the system is like that?

Would you do business (i.e. trust) with someone that comes from that system?

You're asking a chick and egg question, I believe it becomes a self-reinforcing loop

In regards to doing business - someone that comes from a corrupt society with a culture of taking advantage of others should be approached more carefully than someone that grew up in the same town as you, of course

This is a lesson learned the hard way, where I moved to a different country and treated everyone with openness and generosity (of time, resources, willingness to help), just to realize people from certain cultures mistake this behavior for weakness and try to take advantage as much as possible

It's the courts. Courts are meant to bring in an error correction mechanism. When courts fail, the country goes into open-loop control. No errors are corrected, and eventually, people stop even detecting errors. https://x.com/captgouda24/status/2110089855380369511

Vet rigorously and continuously! Start with small business, and grow it based on interpersonal trust. Since the system lacks accountability, you must ensure that yourself.
