Sure. Examples are all around you. People grease each other in business every day. Through perks, business arrangements, kickbacks, commissions, etc. It happens in politics all the time EVERY day. I approve your local zoning or building permit, you get me a free membership at the closed golf community. I get your bill passed and listen to you tell me how to vote, I get that huge campaign contribution. I get you free drug samples and you push my drug on your patients. I can't think of some aspect of commercial enterprise that does not have these arrangements.
