So, I would add that this is the contribution or the features of the Western civilization, the civilization of democracy, science, laws, governance, engineering… . but also bookkeeping. (accounting)
Societies rooted and accustomed to “habar and bakshish” ( tyurkish words which transferred to other languages as bribes, in surprisingly positive sense of the word)
The third world ( many EX-USSR countries, Africa, Middle East) is frequently very corrupted, disorganized (in the sence of bookkeeping/accounting)
And this is not a trifle , this disorganization is the core of corruption, to poverty of population due to primitive, clanish, ollegarchic despotism.
So, the art of bookkeeping is the compliment to the Western (Christian) civilization.
