Corruption can undermine people's faith in government and erode equality. Transparency, or open government, provides the best means to prevent corruption by ensuring that the decisions and actions of officials are easily understood. Corruption and Transparency, one of the titles in the Foundations of Democracy series, examines one of the greatest dangers to democracy--corruption, and the importance of efforts to improve transparency in government.
