Corruption has become one of the most important problems in the entire planet. It affects economic growth, generates inequality and delegitimizes public institutions. But even so, it is a phenomenon badly known by citizenship, confused with other criminal phenomena and used politically with excessive joy.

This text aims to provide basic knowledge on this social scourge in order to promote effective civic mobilization against it and the rigorous assumption of responsibilities by public authorities to address the problem.
