This book is not a study of anti-corruption policies. Instead, it
looks at the politics of anti-corruption. Policies are what
institutions do. But in analyzing politics, this book seeks to
discover why institutions do what they do. The author delves into
political motivations at a time when "combating corruption" is the
fashion among the academic community. Krastev argues that
anti-corruption sentiments are not driven by the actual level of
corruption but by general disappointment with liberal reforms that
cause rising social inequality. In this collection of essays, the
author makes the provocative argument that the current
corruption-focused policies are doomed.
