Summary
"Law and policy treat corruption as something far less than it truly is. Using India's long history as a case study, Sudhir Chella Rajan argues that corruption is the structure underlying social hierarchy. Throughout history, elites have fixed the rules of the game for their own benefit, even as most ordinary people were faithful to life's rubrics"--, Provided by publisher
