Overview

The book is about corporate governance in India in the context of recent mega-corporate frauds and corruption. It strives to discover appropriate governance rules to ensure the sustainability and effectiveness of the institution of corporate bodies, private and public, in India in the context of two mega corruption scandals of 2009, namely, Satyam and Specturam. The author argues that corruption mis-allocates scarce resources from the meritorious to the unworthy, the immoral, the criminal and the powerful. Thus, the author points out, such transactions result in undermining people's trust in the political system and hence causes a decline in the legitimacy of public office. Dr. Swamy refers to the law of Diminishing Interest of the public in opposing corruption when there is no accountability or if the corrupt are not brought to book. Worse, the author states, this consequent apathy towards mega corruption could vitiate the democratic system of India. Hence, the author argues, it is very important for alert citizens to understand the phenomenon of corruption and then bond together to combat it.
