How would you behave as the dictator of Turkmenistan? Are bad people the only ones who get power - or does power make people worse? Host of the Power Corrupts podcast – and friend of ours! – Professor Brian Klaas talks to Alex Andreou about their latest book, Corruptible, learning from ski lessons with the likes of Paul Bremer…and what’s wrong with police recruitment videos.
- “Serial killers are not successful psychopaths, because they couldn't hide it. They're the ones in the boardroom and the office.”
- “Flat societies are not the answer. Western hierarchical societies are some of the safest places for humans to live.”
- “Good governance costs, but it’s a price well worth paying.”
- “Power corrupts gradually. The longer someone is in office, the worse they will become.”
Presented by Alex Andreou. Produced by Andrew Harrison. Assistant producers: Jelena Sofronijevic and Jacob Archbold. Music by Kenny Dickinson. Audio production by Alex Rees. THE BUNKER is a Podmasters Production
