"Underkuffler's precise but imaginative analysis reconnects us to our deepest concerns through narratives that evoke the religious and moral language animating our legal understanding of corruption."—Joseph William Singer, author of Entitlement: The Paradoxes of Property
"Underkuffler challenges the traditional rational and logical characterizations of corruption and defends a highly original and insightul proposal. In her view corruption is an emotional concept grounded in religious ideas defying traditional criminal law doctrines. This book is a fantastic contribution to the study of corruption as well as more generally to the study of law and culture."—Alon Harel, Hebrew University Law School
