This is the new go-to book on the topic."" - Tyler Cowen, Professor of economics, GMU ""To tackle corruption we need to recognize that it is a symptom of a society in which incentives are distorted, control mechanisms are absent and norms are mis-calibrated. Anyone planning to delve into these issues would be well served by first studying what Fisman and Golden have to say."" - Daron Acemoglu, co-author of Why Nations Fail and professor of economics, MIT"
