Krátky popis
'Illuminating . . .reveals why some people and systems are more
likely to be corrupted by power than others' - Adam
Grant'Passionate, insightful, and occasionally jaw-dropping . .
.Corruptible sets out the story of the intoxicating lure of
power-and how it has shaped the modern world' - Peter Frankopan'A
brilliant exploration' - Dan Snow'Klaas is the rarest of finds: a
political scientist who can also tell great stories. He mixes
memorable anecdotes with stern analysis to tackle one of the
biggest questions of all: do we have to be ruled by bad people?' -
Peter PomerantsevDoes power corrupt or are corrupt people drawn to
power?Are tyrants the products of bad systems or are they just bad
people?And why do we give power to awful people?In Corruptible,
professor of global politics Brian Klaas draws on over 500
interviews with some of the world's top leaders - from the noblest
to the dirtiest - including presidents, war criminals, cult
leaders, terrorists, psychopaths, and dictators to reveal the most
surprising workings of power: how children can predict who is going
to win an election based just on the faces of politicians, why
narcissists make more money, what makes a certain species of bee
more corrupt than others, whether a thirst for power is a genetic
condition, and why being the second in command is in fact the
smartest choice. From scans of psychopathic brains, to the effects
of power on monkey drug use, Klaas weaves cutting-edge research
with astonishing encounters (including a ski lesson with the former
viceroy of Iraq, tea with a former UK prime minister, and breakfast
with Madagascar's yogurt kingpin president).Written by the creator
of the award-winning Power Corrupts podcast, Corruptible challenges
our basic assumptions about power, from the board room to the war
room, and provides a roadmap for getting better leaders at every
level.
