(Corruption has existed long before democary, it was around in Hammarabi's time.  And regardless, democracy was around before C.E so corruption's been around for a long-arse time aswell.  The Greeks, Athenians in particular, invented it in the 6th century B.C.E.  So, if we're going to say that "corruption has only been around as long as democracy" then corruption has been around for forever because so has democracy.  Written history doesn't start until about 3500 B.C.E, democracy shows up about 3000 years later and stays around for the next half of human history coming to dominate the world in these recent three centuries.)
