It is the market which has captured compliant or corrupt politicians and senior bureaucrats in their bid to obtain special favours by often sneaking through back doors - doors which are not accessible to ordinary constituents.

Therefore, shouldn't one also question the integrity of the market since the market's desire to covertly influence government decisions has often been to the detriment of the state.

Remember the title of this thread: "Principles before pounds, please."
