Sarah Chayes: Everybody Knows: Corruption in America (Bristol Festival of Ideas)

[@edmills9160]

This should be watched by more people!

[@lyricaldon9045]

What a marvelous interview. Sarah is both brilliant and down to earth. I admire her and am almost mesmerized by the knowledge, logic and truth in her speech!

[@Trinity532]

Agreed more people need to watch this. Our security is at stake. Thank you, Sarah ”government corruption is a precursor to extremism.”

[@alistairmackintosh9412]

How does one deal with the neoliberal idea that there is no such thing as corruption? E. g. "market based politics" or "market based justice systems". One cannot fight corruption if its existence is completely denied.

Amazing woman, she predicted and described the facts clearly and way before things happened👏👏👏.

[@lucasflanders8557]

Can we get her to run for president? This is so good. Btw, I really think drugs and prostitution should be legalized for adults. Driving these activities underground has led to a ton of corruption, and the war on drugs has been as ineffective as the war in Afghanistan.

This women is brilliant.

I have lived and worked in 4 countries in non government positions. What is not very widely understood is that corruption is a cancer that eats away at organizational effectiveness and as a result destroys the organization that provides the opportunity for the corruption in the first place. Nobody prospers when organizations (Including goverments,) fail. As organization effectiveness is better understood, corruption tends to decrease. Controlling corruption must go well beyond religious ethics.

Sarah is so dead on. Very serious and scary stuff.

This is both educational and mind opening (which are not interchangeable) and deserves a wider audience and we can give it that wider audience by sharing it. However, there is a single point on which I disagree. I do not think that there is an opioid crisis. There is an idiocy crisis.

Somewhat informative at the start but makes the common mistake of falling into the left right paradigm. I would have expected that the host and the interviewee at least understood that the kleptocracy continues regardless of whether it is a left or right wing president. Same in the UK, both left and right prime ministers continue to grow the kleptocracy. We need to stop falling prey to the political system that is designed to distract us from the real level of corruption. To find the problem we have to look up and down, not left and right.

Not unique. Throughout time Money has been a measure of your societal standing.

I am truly puzzled. This has been up on KZbin for an entire YEAR and this is only the sixth comment. What is needed to get people to notice this? Fireworks 🎇 ??
