Synopsis

Corruption Erodes Gains meticulously examines how corruption undermines economic growth and sustainable development, challenging the notion that it merely "greases the wheels" of commerce. The book argues that graft systematically diminishes national wealth, spotlighting how inflated contract prices and misappropriated funds directly drain economies. Intriguingly, the book points out that corruption's indirect costs, such as reduced foreign investment and weakened institutions, can be even more damaging, especially in an era of increasing globalization.

 


 
The book takes a mixed-methods approach, starting by defining corruption and its theoretical impacts before presenting empirical evidence from sources like the Corruption Perception Index. Later chapters delve into sectors vulnerable to corruption, such as public procurement and natural resource management, illustrating how corruption directly reduces economic gains. It concludes with practical strategies for combating corruption, emphasizing transparency and accountability at both national and international levels.

    Twenty-six centuries ago, the Buddha fleshed out the universal law of the spiritual realm: karma, which holds that our actions, our words, and even our thoughts inevitably produce effects that return to us in some form — in this lifetime or a future one. In The Beginner’s Guide to Karma, Lama Lhanang Rinpoche and Mordy Levine encourage readers to forget what they’ve heard about karma and look at the subject afresh. Delving into Buddhist scripture and tradition, the authors give a comprehensive overview that incorporates psychology, ethics, and metaphysics. Using everyday language and real-life examples, they clear away myths, illustrate how karma works in daily life, and offer practices to build positive karma. The Beginner’s Guide to Karma neatly sums up the Buddhist worldview and makes a compelling case for a way of being that nurtures compassion, joy, and inner peace in an uncertain world.

    Is It Racist? Is It Sexist? Two questions that seem simple on their face, but which invite a host of tangled responses. Jessi Streib and Betsy Leondar-Wright offer a new way of understanding how inequalities persist by focusing on the individual judgment calls that lead us to decide what's racist, what's sexist, and what's not. 
     
     
     
    Racism and sexism often seem like optical illusions, but the lines that most consistently divide our decisions might surprise you. Indeed, white people's views of what's racist and sexist are increasingly up for grabs. As the largest racial group in the country and the group that occupies the most and the highest positions of power, what they decide is racist and sexist helps determine the contours of inequality. 
     
     
     
    By asking white people—Southerners and Northerners, Republicans and Democrats, working-class and professional-middle-class, men and women—to decide whether specific interactions and institutions are racist, sexist, or not, Streib and Leondar-Wright take us on a journey through the decision-making processes of white people in America. The authors are able to distinguish the responses as being characteristic of different patterns of reasoning. They produce a framework for understanding these patterns that invites us all to engage with each other in a new way, even on topics that might divide us.
