The easiest way to keep corruption from destroying us, short of remaking human nature, is to begin to reduce the immensely bloated power of the government, and restore it to its intended Constitutional role. This would be a long, painful process and take many years. Pessimists feel it would take a revolution. Leftists think it is a bad idea, not being able to (or wanting to) make the ancient connection between power and corruption.

Since the people who make the laws are the ones who will have their power reduced, this is not exactly going to be a walk in the park. Educating citizens in the true principles of the Constitution and other facets of libertarianism and the basic principles of freedom is at least a small start, but the average American is so deeply brainwashed into believing that the government is absolutely essential to every aspect of his daily existence, that this has not gone over very well. You can see the minimal progress I've made here with the unconverted, and you guys are the SMART ones.

Some more really good reading (other than his books, obviously) by L. Neil Smith.
