Reviews
"The Best System Money Can Buy is a stunning account of entrenched corruption and failed accountability in the European Union. With striking evidence and powerful reasoning, Carolyn M. Warner shows how privatization, decentralization, and economic integration have-in the context of weak oversight, lax enforcement, and insatiable needs for campaign funding-fostered new forms and sustained old forms of corruption in the wealthy democracies of Western Europe. Anyone who thinks corruption is primarily a problem of emerging democracies needs to read this book. As Warner demonstrates, 'the unchained liberal market is not self-correcting,' but rather requires serious and independent institutions of accountability."-Larry Diamond, Senior Fellow, Hoover Institution, "Carolyn Warner's well-documented book shows that corruption in the European Union is fostered by democracy, free trade and decentralization, the very factors that are often portrayed as the institutional foundations of transparency. In so doing, it challenges the conventional wisdom about the anti-corruption benefits of political and economic competition. This engaging exposé is written with a sense of irony, but it turns the EU's squeaky-clean self-promoting international image into farce."-David D. Laitin, The James T. Watkins IV and Elise V.

This item didn’t come in exactly as pictured, but the seller responded immediately and was very gracious in offering me a partial refund even bough I wasn’t expecting one for what I paid for the item. I have bought from this seller before, and they are reputable and stand behind the products they sell. My other transactions with them have been perfect. Great communication. Packaging and price were good. Fairly fast shipping, too. Thanks.

This item came in exactly as pictured, and the seller posted immediately and was very gracious. I didn't ask for a partial refund. Why would I? I bought what I was expecting and received what I paid for the item. Not sure if I have bought from this seller before, but they are reputable and stand behind the products they sell. My future transactions with them will no doubt be perfect. Great communication. Packaging and price were good. Fairly fast shipping, too. Thanks.
