This Lecture continues the Caribbean Thought Lecture Series exploring the challenge of Caribbean Development but now going beyond the external to the internal. Corruption has significantly held back Jamaica and the Caribbean as much as the IMF or structural adjustment has placed conditionalities that have constricted the growth. Nevertheless, the problem was complex and compounded by several factors in which the locals also played a role. The #caribbean has had tremendous investments over the years but corrupt figures have squandered or mismanaged the funds leading to missed opportunities. This lecture discusses this issue and borrows data from #transparencyinternational https://www.transparency.org/en/what-is-corruption, and Dr. Trevor Monroe's and the #docu-filmnationalintegrityagency #nia, about the cost of corruption https://youtu.be/PEZnDCMvjO8?si=d38c17mzF97rkIGb. The Lecture also includes a video from a previous lecture on Corruption https://youtu.be/XIk37RWW90w.
