Somewhat difficult to read. "Crime and Corruption" by Samuel Vaknin is a comprehensive examination of the intricate relationships between crime and corruption, touching on various dimensions such as political, financial, and social implications. Written in the early 21st century, the work delves into contemporary issues that arise from these phenomena, particularly how corruption impacts governmental and financial institutions across the globe. The opening sections appear to focus on specific cases of corruption and the mechanisms through which illicit money flows, suggesting that the book is a serious and analytical exploration of these subjects rather than a fictional narrative. The beginning of "Crime and Corruption" introduces the concept of slush funds and their pervasive role in corrupt systems, exemplified through historical references and contemporary events. Vaknin discusses various instances of state-sanctioned corruption, touching on prominent international figures and countries, such as Kazakhstan and Taiwan, to highlight the ways slush funds are used to facilitate bribery and conceal illicit activities. The author emphasizes that these practices are not confined to developing countries but are evident in supposedly stable democracies, illustrating a global crisis in transparency and accountability linked to financial malfeasance. This opening sets the tone for an investigative and critical discussion on crime and corruption in modern society.
