The Dark Side of Sunlight

The magazine, Foreign Affairs recently published an article entitled, “The Dark Side of Sunlight” by James D’Angelo and Brent Ranalli who are associated with the Congressional Research Institute. These authors have put forth a very compelling explanation for coercion and corruption in government and have utilized numerous historical events to reinforce this position. The simple, but counter-intuitive, solution offered will surprise most readers and challenge a long-standing perspective on transparency. I recommend you read their offering by clicking on the link.
