520    "There is not a single American awake to the world who is 
       comfortable with the way things are." So begins Lawrence 
       Lessig's sweeping indictment of contemporary American 
       institutions and the corruption that besets them. We can 
       all see it-from the selling of Congress to special 
       interests to the corporate capture of the academy. 
       Something is wrong. It's getting worse. What Lessig shows,
       brilliantly and persuasively, is that we can't blame the 
       problems of contemporary American life on bad people, as 
       our discourse all too often tends to do. Rather, he 
       explains, "We have allowed core institutions of America's 
       economic, social, and political life to become corrupted. 
       Not by evil souls, but by good souls. Not through crime, 
       but through compromise." Through case studies of Congress,
       finance, the academy, the media, and the law, Lessig shows
       how institutions are drawn away from higher purposes and 
       toward money, power, quick rewards-the first steps to 
       corruption. America is on the wrong path. If we don't 
       acknowledge our own part in that, and act now to change it,
       we will hand our children a less perfect union than we 
       were given. It will be a long struggle. This book 
       represents the first steps.
