About

Deep economic truths from the mouths of Washington DC taxi drivers. Trust is crucial to markets, never more so than in situations where corruption rules. In some places it's so bad that 'I trust you to cheat'. Yet corruption may serve a purpose; perhaps it is a necessary evil: one country's corruption is another country's flexibility, or indirect taxation, or access transaction. We shall look at definitions of corruption, some of the measures of corruption and some of the paradoxes in advanced economies' views on corruption. This is the Cambridge Allen & Overy Lecture.
