012 - Is Corruption the Main Problem of Our Time? (2/2‪)‬ Grand Fraud

This is the second and last episode of my interview with Sarah Chayes, award-winning international  journalist, author and former advisor to the US Joint Chiefs of Staff,  Admiral Mike Mullen. Our discussion revolved around a core question: Is corruption the most important issue of our time? Can anyone hope to  tackle any other global problem – be it climate change, migration,  security, wealth inequality – without addressing grand fraud and  corruption first?
