From time to time, I am asked by compliance leaders for books they can recommend to commercial and business teams to better sensitize the frontlines regarding the wider societal consequences of bribery and corruption.
My list in that genre includes “Thieves of State” by Sarah Chayes and “The Looting Machine” by Tom Burgis, as both address transnational crime and corrupt ecosystems that strip societies of good governance, economic development, medical care, and all too often, human rights. Accordingly, another addition to that list is “Crude Intentions: How Oil Corruption Contaminates the World” by Alexandra Gillies.
