Michael Heaney@gleick The Venetians were strict in the rule regarding the wealth of their lifetime rulers, And had a method of constraining grand larceny by the ruler.
On election The Doge had his wealth calculated when appointed and was forbidden on pain of death of accepting anything of lasting value.

Ada PalmerChile has rebuilt access to welfare around a municipal “one-stop shop”. Before, vulnerable families in Chile often had to make multiple trips to municipal offices to secure a single benefit.
