Review :
"One of the International Affairs Blog Top 5 Books: December 2017" "An exhaustive description of the current state of corruption. . . . The strength of [Rotberg's] book is its focus on change."---Paul Collier, Times Literary Supplement "Corruption is ‘hardwired into the human condition,' begins the author. He brings together concepts supporting this statement from many sources, illustrating the challenge of identifying and controlling it. . . . This is a major contribution to the literature and should draw wide attention in many fields." "As we renew the effort towards progress . . . we need a clear sense of where we have been. The Corruption Cure provides that sort of foundation, and will be a key starting-point for debates and actions to come."---Michael Johnston, International Affairs
