Abstract

This article sought to demonstrate and analyze what are the main definitions of corruption constantly found in the literature. In addition, it was pointed out that the usual definitions and those with affinities in relation to the classical-utilitarian theoretical current have significant limitations. Be they in the definition itself, in the concept of corruption, or in the analyzes that this makes possible. Based on this, it was suggested that the evolutionary approach originating from institutional economics, pioneered by the works of Thorstein Veblen, demonstrates a greater degree of adequacy and efficiency by being more visibly closer to reality, thus enabling empirical analyzes with a greater degree of robustness and clarity.
