Go Ahead and Take It! Corruption and the Trade in Power in Bulk

You can listen to an unusual book about corruption: it’s not “criticizing,” it’s scientific—though written in the simplest and most understandable language possible. It explains the origins, mechanisms, types of manifestations, and experience in combating corruption in different countries of the world, including the former USSR—and of course, Russia. While working on it, the authors wanted to give people knowledge about what, how, and why happens—so that the number of “ignorant loafers,” whose indifference becomes a breeding ground for corruption villains, would decrease; and at the same time so that there would be fewer “empty critics” who, by attacking private shortcomings, prevent people from seeing the overall horrifying picture. The more knowledge, the more citizens who see in a swarm of disconnected news a system, understand the world they live in.
