Don’t work in anti-corruption if you can’t answer this question
I want to start by saying I didn't go into this work naive. I'd been reading corruption reports for years, citing them in my own papers, nodding along to the usual language about "weak oversight" and "institutional capacity gaps." I thought I knew the shape of the problem before I ever sat down with anyone.

If corruption persists despite legal and institutional reforms, the explanation lies elsewhere. The decision to explore social norms was not theoretical abstraction but an empirical necessity.
