The Prisoner's Dilemma And Collective Action

By AuthorRichard L. Cassin | DateFriday, August 12, 2011 at 6:02AM

Peter Eigen, a German lawyer and former World Bank manager in Africa and Latin America, may be the most influential person ever in the world of anti-corruption and compliance. In Berlin in 1993 he founded the NGO Transparency International.

Eigen chaired TI from '93 to '05 and now heads its advisory council.

Here's a wonderful Ted Talk he gave last year on the history of collective action against grand corruption.
