Corruption flouts rules of fairness and gives some people
advantages that others don't have. Corruption is persistent; there
is little evidence that countries can escape the curse of
corruption easily - or at all. Instead of focusing on institutional
reform, in this book Eric M. Uslaner suggests that the roots of
corruption lie in economic and legal inequality, low levels of
generalized trust (which are not readily changed), and poor policy
choices (which may be more likely to change). Economic inequality
provides a fertile breeding ground for corruption, which, in turn,
leads to further inequalities. Just as corruption is persistent,
inequality and trust do not change much over time, according to
Uslaner's cross-national aggregate analyses. He argues that high
inequality leads to low trust and high corruption, and then to more
inequality - an inequality trap - and identifies direct linkages
between inequality and trust in surveys of the mass public and
elites in transition countries.
