Brian Klaas' Corruptible examines the nature of power and its effects on individuals. Praised for its insightful analysis and engaging narrative, the book offers a compelling look at why certain people become corrupt. Critics appreciate Klaas' use of diverse case studies but note a lack of deep theoretical exploration. Overall, it is a thought-provoking read with minor shortcomings.
Readers who relish exploring the psychology of power and corruption, akin to those who enjoyed The Dictator's Handbook by Bruce Bueno de Mesquita or Why We Elect Narcissists and Sociopaths by Bill Eddy, will find Corruptible by Brian Klaas thought-provoking. Ideal for fans of political psychology and behavioral science.
