Labeling a person, institution or particular behavior as "corrupt"
signals both political and moral disapproval and, in a functioning
democracy, should stimulate inquiry, discussion, and, if the charge
is well-founded, reform. This book argues, in a set of closely
related chapters, that the political community and scholars alike
have underestimated the extent of corruption in the United States
and elsewhere and thus, awareness of wrong-doing is limited and
discussion of necessary reform is stunted. In fact, there is a
class of behaviors and institutions that are legal, but corrupt.
They are accepted as legitimate by statute and practice, but they
inflict very real social, economic, and political damage. This book
explains why it is important to identify legally accepted
corruption and provides a series of examples of corruption using
this perspective.
