A global anti-corruption crusade is underway. "As slavery was once a way of life and now has become obsolete and incomprehensible, so the practice of bribery will become obsolete," a modern-day moralist has said. But how is global consensus on corruption possible? Why are anti -corruption campaigns running out of steam, and why are post-communist societies obsessed with corruption? This book is not a study of anti-corruption policies. Instead, it looks at the politics of anti-corruption. Policies are what institutions do. But in analyzing politics, this book seeks to discover why institutions do what they do. The author delves into political motivations at a time when "combating corruption" is the fashion among the academic community. Krastev argues that anti-corruption sentiments are not driven by the actual level of corruption but by general disappointment with liberal reforms that cause rising social inequality. In this collection of essays, the author makes the provocative argument that the current corruption-focused policies are doomed.

En 1983, paraît dans le très sérieux Journal of Economic Literature un article au ton pour le moins iconoclaste. Signé par un auteur jusqu'alors reconnu pour ses travaux classiques dans le domaine de l'histoire économique quantitative, ce papier traite de la rhétorique des économistes. D.N. McCloskey y assène, entre autres, que l'étude des textes économiques relève avant tout de la critique littéraire ; que les modèles mathématiques, tant prisés par les économistes, sont essentiellement méta.
