Paperback. Corruption by Design: A Study of Desire, Demand, and Decay is a searing and thought-provoking examination of one of the most intractable and insidious issues of contemporary society. Written by Partha Roy-economist, teacher, and lifelong student of institutional morality-this book disputes the traditional notion that corruption is merely an issue of individual avarice or lax enforcement. Instead, it offers a strong argument that corruption is not only deeply ingrained in the very nature of our systems but also embedded in the fabric of political choices, economic policy, and even cultural practice.This book does not view corruption as an outlier or a matter of moral lapse on the part of some people. It illustrates how corruption becomes routinized and justified in ways that people live their daily lives, is accepted by social norms, and even encouraged by weakly crafted institutions.
