Title: Part of the canon
Review: This book is canonical in the corruption literature, because of its accessible introduction of the notion that the optimal amount of corruption is non-zero (due to monitoring costs) and the much-quoted formula C=M+A-D (corruption=monopoly plus accountability minus discretion). It is an academic book, not a popular book, although it is accessible to the lay reader. But its primary interest is for the student of history of ideas, as its contributions have been absorbed into the literature and its flaws are therefore that much more obvious; it is now very much dated. Contrary to the previous review, there are several case studies in this book. Four stars for its contribution, rather than its current relevance.
