'Rich countries have a different corruption configuration to poor countries. This excellent path-breaking book explores some of the dynamics of American corruption. Using various data sources, the authors point out that not all corruption is the same, and that corruption varies enormously by state and locality.' Adam Graycar, University of Adelaide 'How corrupt is the United States of America? Dincer and Johnston move beyond clichés to reveal corruption as a deeply embedded force that fuels inequality, distorts democracy and entrenches injustice. With sharp analysis and compelling evidence, they expose both illegal and legal corruption, showing how it shapes politics, policy, and daily life. At a time when trust in institutions is eroding, this book is essential for anyone seeking to understand - and challenge - the fifty-ring circus of American corruption.' Ina Kubbe, Tel Aviv University 'Corruption in America shows the achievements and pitfalls of the world's first democracy, offering both revelations and lessons to be learned.' Alina Mungiu-Pippidi, Luiss University
