Who Rigged the Bids? Second Edition
What you are about to read is a follow-up to the first edition of this publication, entitled "Who Rigged the Bids, Combatting Procurement Fraud in the City of Brotherly love." The first edition was undertaken after a series of training seminars for the City of Philadelphia's Housing Authority's Office of Audit and Compliance (OCA). This publication restates and expands upon the need to zero in on a specific type of corruption; that being, Bid Rigging. This iteration is being provided in the hope of not just sharing a tidbit of what I have learned in more than four decades in my quest to bring corruption to its knees, but also to put into action practical ways of detecting and combating this specific type of corruption.
Corruption in the Twenty-First Century
"In Corruption in the Twenty-First Century, author Vincent E. Green shares firsthand insight into the effects of corruption and shows how it is not a victimless crime. Green -- someone who has fought corruption in New York City for more than thirty years and used the lessons he learned there internationally -- here provides a history of corruption and its widespread effects. He explains how it occurs, what an investigation should look like, why we should care, and what strategies and tools can be implemented to defeat it. He discusses various corruption cases and describes how the perpetrators were brought to justice. He also details corruption's negative impact on both the present and the future."--Jacket.

Who Rigged the Bids
"The darkest places in hell are reserved for those who maintain their neutrality in times of moral crisis," said Dante Alighieri. Make no mistake; we are in a moral crisis! It's easy to be cynical about corruption. Abuse of power by political leaders and government employees goes back to Lucifer's act of betrayal. Readers of the news will encounter too many stories of corruption by those we trust. Nevertheless, the book you hold is an effective antidote to feelings of cynicism and helplessness. Vinny Green is a leading contemporary voice advocating for a crusade against corruption, which he rightly sees as an insidious disease eroding confidence in government, and which has pernicious effects, seen and unseen, including the loss of hope in a better future.

Vincente Minnelli
Widely known for innovative films like Meet Me in St. Louis, An American in Paris, and The Band Wagon, Vincente Minnelli also directed classic film comedies like Father of the Bride and Designing Woman, and melodramas such as The Bad and the Beautiful and Some Came Running.
