In the eighties in Italy emerged a system of corruption, which transcended the classical figure of reciprocity between persons who know each other very well. Corruption was expected in certain situations from all sides and so it could work even between persons, who didn't know each other. This system of corruption fit very well in the market system. It was not a deviation, but a constitutive moment of Italian capitalism in the eighties, which allowed simple solutions for problems hard to solve in a democratic system.

In den 1980er Jahren entwickelte sich in Italien ein System der Korruption, das über die klassische Figuration der Reziprozität zwischen zwei sehr gut miteinander bekannten Personen hinausging. In gewissen Situationen wurde Korruption von allen Seiten erwartet, sogar zwischen Menschen, die sich gar nicht kannten. Dieses Korruptionssystem passte sehr gut ins Marktsystem. Es war keine Abweichung, sondern ein konstitutives Element des italienischen Kapitalismus der 1980er Jahre und erlaubte einfache Lösungen für Probleme, die in einem demokratischen System nur schwer zu lösen waren.
