- Abstract
The book review discusses "Political Corruption: The Internal Enemy of Public Institutions" by Emanuela Ceva and Maria Paola Ferretti. The authors argue that political corruption should be understood beyond narrow legalistic definitions and emphasize the importance of moral wrongness as a driver and consequence of corruption. They propose a taxonomy of corruption, distinguishing between summative, morphological, and systemic corruption. The authors also critique other conceptions of political corruption and advocate for individual responsibility and proactive engagement in combating corruption. However, the review notes that the book lacks innovative remedial measures and suggests exploring the selection process for public officials and raising public awareness about their mandates. Overall, the book offers a nuanced perspective on corruption and highlights the importance of public ethics in addressing it.
