Daily: Does POWER make BAD PEOPLE? With Brian Klaas

How would you behave as the dictator of Turkmenistan? Are bad people the only ones who get power - or does power make people worse? Host of the Power Corrupts podcast – and friend of ours! – Professor Brian Klaas talks to Alex Andreou about their latest book, Corruptible, learning from ski lessons with the likes of Paul Bremer…and what’s wrong with police recruitment videos. “Serial killers are not successful psychopaths, because they couldn't hide it. They're the ones in the boardroom and the office.” “Flat societies are not the answer. Western hierarchical societies are some of the safest places for humans to live.” “Good governance costs, but it’s a price well worth paying.” “Power corrupts gradually. The longer someone is in office, the worse they will become.”   Presented by Alex Andreou. Produced by Andrew Harrison. Assistant producers: Jelena Sofronijevic and Jacob Archbold. Music by Kenny Dickinson. Audio production by Alex Rees. THE BUNKER is a Podmasters Production https://brianpklaas.com/corruptible  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
