It is the main cause of political imbalance and major other problems in many countries, but can it be stopped or even reduced to an acceptable level ?

Impossible. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Corruption is what built Western society. If the explorers had not corrupted the native people, we'd have no United States. If companies had not corrupted people into thinking they need cars and computers we may not have experienced any of the things that we did experience in our lives. So you can never rid the world of corruption but perhaps it could be reduced.

The smaller a government is the less of a problem corruption is because the less of an impact corrupt politicians will have on your daily life. The best answer is to reduce the size and scope of government altogether.

Corruption cant be stopped because all the people with social influence in this world are to greedy. All the people in power i.e. the government, they are the reasons why the world is so corrupt, because they only tell us what they think we need to know and that certainly ain't alot. Their greed blinds them from the truth and the truth is sometimes they blind themselves from the truth on purpose because it benifits them that much more, but there are those in this world that long for justice and they will fight for it with their lives.......................... Been silent for a long time, looked upon as weak, no one pays attention, cos they see fear when u speak. Many live in silence, in fear of things they see, but hope in all the wonders, they see in all their dreams.

You can't make it history. Corrupt people in power hire corrupt people to work beside and for them thus increasing the corruption. They twist words around to make their ideas sound like something else or to make it completely not understandable. They make false statements sound true with false proof. It won't go away and will only get worse.

You meant: 'How do you make corruption history?'
In this day and age, it's probably impossible, humans are flawed.
To reduce it, I am going to say that I am on the 'severe penalty' bandwagon on this one, and I mean severe. (use your imagination).
Stop making excuses, stop the long drawn out court cases, etc etc. Remove the lawyer $/breaucratic MESS, it's ridiculous.
I'm for fast trials and flat pay scales, buying your way out of trouble, has to end.

It is a materialistic world where money decides many things. A person decides not to pay, come what may, ready to pursue the path without corrupting somebody, then there is a chance. I do not Know, how many will?

The more information is free, the less corruption is able to exist.

Sure, if we completely eliminate free will. How do you suppose that could be accomplished and what would life be like? As long as there are positions of power there will be people who will take advantage of it however they can.
