The monograph unravels the concept of corruption as well as problems in governance which it says occur when a government is not only corrupt, but when it is also inefficient, unresponsive or secretive. Essentially, when a government is ineffectual, it is considered to be corrupt. It argues that corruption is fundamentally caused by low wages, poor incentives structure and inefficient system. It is also caused by the desire for unfair advantage and the knowledge that one will not be caught or punished for corrupt behaviour. Corruption is not just about ethics, it is also about how the government is set up and managed. Parliament and parliamentarians must oversee the way government works so that corrupt behaviour is punishable, and opportunities for corruption are limited through laws.
