Vested Interest and Harmful Policies
Example 1: Damage to Agriculture Output
Large corporations often supply second rate and expired products to illiterate farmers through a network of corrupt and greedy and traders (well-funded middlemen) who 'push' expired as well as untested and unproven product causing not only damage to the crop and poor yields but also effecting the health of the farmers. Most farmers have small holdings and can't afford to litigate in the existing problematic judicial system. Furthermore, farmers are not paid in time for their crop to force them to ‘dump’ their crop at dirt-cheap prices. As farmers become poorer and can't make ends meet, frequently they have no choice but to sell their land at throwaway prices and migrate to urban areas in search of a livelihood. This migration is one of the main causes of overcrowding of cities, pollution, clutter, traffic congestion, health problems, rise in crime, over-stressed infrastructure and poor sanitation.
Example 2: Government Software Contracts based on Nepotism
