For example, we have always opposed corruption, but why has corruption not been effectively curbed for so many years? Sociologists may attribute it to the decline of official moral standards. But this is only superficial, and the real reason can only be found in the system (in fact, morality itself is composed of a series of unwritten systems, and the decline of moral level means that morality, as an institutional arrangement, has reduced its ability to bind people).
When corruption has become a common phenomenon in a society, we can only say that the system of this society lacks restraint on corruption, and it is impossible to achieve obvious results only by criticizing the professional ethics of corrupt officials without exploring the defects of the system itself. Zhang Wuchang, an economist, famously said, "You can't put a coquettish woman in my bedroom, and I can't have unreasonable thoughts about her; The best way to make me miss her is to get her out of my bedroom. "
Similarly, under an institutional arrangement conducive to the breeding of corruption, it is difficult to ask officials to obey the rules! If there is a set of institutional arrangements that can fundamentally restrain the corrupt thoughts of officials, then we don't have to work hard to teach officials about morality.
