Editing Corruption (section)

== Vs. oppression ==
Corruption and oppression are inverse negative outcomes in an economic system. Corruption is the case when a minority is advantaged at the expense of the majority. Oppression is when the majority is rewarded to the disadvantage of a minority. An example of oppression is when the majority forcibly acquires a minority’s resource, even supposing the minority was not currently using it. In this scenario, the majority power might exploit the resource's benefits more efficiently than than the minority were currently able, but that prevents the minority from using the resource in the future. 

Oppression is typically more obvious than corruption. Attempts to correct the injustice of oppression once it is understood may be more easily suppressed, whereas corruption usually requires withholding information ([[wikipedia:Information_asymmetry|information asymmetry]]) to succeed.

Like corruption, this abstract notion of oppression is inevitable in any actual system.
