Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
International development agencies have long viewed corruption as a major obstacle to prosperity in the developing world. But “kickbacks” and “bribes” take many culturally-specific forms, some of which may actually contribute positively to economic development. We look at a new report comparing corruption in different nations, and explore whether transparency and growth are inherently linked.
