What is Positive Corruption?

This paper extends Pierre Bourdieu’s social field theory by deepening the economic analogy he initiated, specifically by incorporating monetary theory methods to analyze sociological systems. We formulate the concept of positive corruption and, based on the resulting framework, analyze case studies of specific fields.
