Ben Waber reviewed Complicit by Max H. Bazerman
A Powerful but Repetitive Book
4 stars
Bazerman cuts right to the chase in this refreshingly honest book on complicity, examining his own complicity in Dan Ariely's infamous fraud case. Much of this book is an enumeration of different famous examples of complicity, which are jarringly juxtaposed (placing questionable personal financial dealings around WeWork after the Nazis, for example). These cases are mostly uninformative. The meat of the book comes from the chapters that deeply examine the roots of complicity and how to individually and systematically avoid them. Highly recommend
