Every day the newspapers and TV detail new government pathologies: stolen elections, violence against citizens, official murders, destruction of villages and homes, corrupt police and public officials, and billions of dollars simply stolen for the personal gain of some ruling elite. People know that governments are necessary and important, but they simply do not understand why they turn out to be dangerous, vicious, incompetent and corrupt. This book can give people valuable insights about how and why governments go wrong. It diagnoses political, economic, social and managerial perverse and destructive practices, provides frameworks for understanding why they come about, and offers some solutions to make governments more honest and responsive to public need.
