#10 – Toke Aidt on Corruption and Political Economy - a podcast by Fin Moorhouse and Luca Righetti
from 2020-04-26T15:20
Dr Toke Aidt is Director of Studies in Economics at Jesus College, Cambridge as well as Director of the Keynes Fund.
In this episode we discuss
- Why some economists believe corruption can be a force for good, or at least a lesser evil
- Why Toke believes this view does not hold up to scrutiny
- And how self-reinforcing cycles of corruption can make tackling it very hard (but also rewarding)
