Sinopse

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.

    Simply Responsible - Basic Blame...

    We evaluate people all the time for a wide variety of activities. We blame them for miscalculations, uninspired art, and committing crimes. We praise them for detailed brushwork, a superb pass, and their acts of kindness. We accomplish things, from solving crosswords to mastering guitar solos. We bungle our endeavors, whether this is letting a friend down or burning dinner. Sometimes these deeds are morally significant, but many times they are not. 
     
     
     
    Simply Responsible defends the radical proposal that the blameworthy artist is responsible in just the same way that the blameworthy thief is. We can be responsible for all kinds of different activities, from lip-synching to long division, from murders to meringues, but the relation involved, what author Matt King calls the basic responsibility relation, is the same in every case. We are responsible for the things we do first, then blameworthy or praiseworthy for having done them in light of whether they're good or bad, according to a variety of standards. 
     
     
     
    According to most accounts, moral responsibility is either a special species of responsibility or else depends on moralized capacities. In contrast, King argues that we get a more complete and unifying picture of responsible agency from a more general theory of responsibility.

    Given the length of time the United States spent in Iraq, there is a perception that there was no consideration before the war of what should be done after coalition forces arrived in Baghdad and removed Saddam Hussein. However as this unofficial history reveals, there was a great deal of planning to address how to achieve the policy objectives for Iraq set by the Bush administration. Kevin Benson—director of plans for the United States Third Army, the ground forces command headquarters for GEN Franks' Central Command, at the start of the war—details the development of the invasion plan and its subsequent execution from D-Day in March 2003 until the change of command of operations in Iraq and the departure of Third Army in June 2003. 
     
     
     
    He addresses the persistent trope that "the Army did no planning" for "Phase IV," revealing that extensive plans were proposed, and were met with very little interest in Washington. The book covers the difficulties encountered in dealing with Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, from getting his approval on the number of forces requested to conducting the campaign to find the "smoking gun" of WMD; the instructions given to Army, Marine, and coalition forces; and the daily secure video teleconferences with Central Command and the Pentagon, and the rather remarkable conversations and guidance that came from these meetings.

    The Legends of Ancient China -...

    The mythology of ancient China is a vast and intricate tapestry woven from centuries of oral traditions, folklore, and philosophical beliefs. These myths have shaped the cultural identity of China, influencing everything from governance and moral values to artistic expressions and religious practices. Unlike the mythologies of ancient Greece or Norse traditions, which focus heavily on gods and heroic figures, Chinese mythology is deeply intertwined with cosmology, nature, and the balance of forces within the universe. From the creation of the world by the primordial being Pangu to the celestial hierarchy ruled by the Jade Emperor, these stories offer a window into how the ancient Chinese perceived their existence and the forces governing it.  
    Oral traditions played a crucial role in the preservation and transmission of these myths. For generations, storytellers passed down tales of divine rulers, celestial beings, and powerful creatures, ensuring that the wisdom and values embedded in these narratives remained alive. Over time, these oral traditions were recorded in classical texts such as the *Shan Hai Jing* (Classic of Mountains and Seas), *Fengshen Yanyi* (Investiture of the Gods), and *Journey to the West*. These literary works not only compiled and expanded upon the myths but also integrated historical events and philosophical ideals, blurring the line between legend and reality. As a result, Chinese mythology became a living tradition, continuously evolving while retaining its fundamental themes.   
    One of the most remarkable aspects of Chinese mythology is its profound influence on Chinese culture. Mythological figures like the dragon and phoenix continue to be symbols of power and prosperity, appearing in imperial regalia, architecture, and festivals. The concept of the Mandate of Heaven, which legitimized dynastic rule, originated from mythological beliefs about divine approval.
