Our world is plagued by an abundance of bad leaders who abuse the trust placed in them, acting selfishly to gain more power and accrue more wealth. Is that a universal human impulse, or is it simply the byproduct of broken political environments? Put bluntly: do we need to worry about bad people or bad systems? In this talk, Dr. Brian Klaas, professor of global politics at University College London and author of Corruptible: Who Gets Power and How It Changes Us, will explore broken systems of modern power and offer a roadmap to a world run by incorruptible people who are motivated by integrity and service rather than power and greed.
