In this groundbreaking work, renowned scholar Bo Rothstein examines the intricate relationships between corruption, social trust, and inequality in a global context. Drawing on a wide range of disciplines, including political science, sociology, and economics, Rothstein presents a comprehensive analysis of the complex issues surrounding governance and policy advice. He argues that effective governance cannot be achieved through small incremental changes, but rather requires a fundamental transformation of the systems that perpetuate corruption. By exploring the importance of political legitimacy and social capital, Rothstein offers a compelling vision for high-quality government and a more equitable society. This timely and thought-provoking book is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the challenges of good governance and the path towards a more just and prosperous world.
