2G Spectrum Scam
Subramanian Swamy, a former Union Cabinet Minister, a Harvard-educated economist and Professor, holds that corruption impacts on economic development of a nation in five dimensions: sub-optimises the allocation of scarce national resources; the use of bribe money distorts investment priorities; unaccounted bribe money causes inflation via hoarding and property bubbles; corrupt persons in public office enact laws to safeguard the booty by lax criminal investigations and prosecutions; and corruption enables beneficiaries to involve foreign hostile governments to launder money and provide protection to offenders thereby compromise national security. Hence, Dr. Swamy argues that as a country becomes industrialized, its governance and corruption challenges morph and become more sophisticated: it becomes a complex phenomenon. In this context, Dr. Swamy has explained the ramifications of the monumental 2G Spectrum Scam.
