Having in lived in India most of my life, I don't need to read an Economist article to find out what corruption is. Want to get a passport? Pay a bribe. Want to construct an addition to you house? Pay a bribe (or just do it illegally). The list goes on. In countries like US, Sweden, Canada, etc at least you're not hammered with corruption requests in your day-to-day existence.
By "Corruption is a closely related and slightly different thing" I meant the same thing. My point is non existence of bribery does not automatically translate to no corruption.

What you are describing is bribery. Corruption is a closely related and slightly different thing.
Bribery is a form of corruption.
Agreed
