We're above all if it's faster than other.

Are you looking for a good beetroot this summer?

If so, I can help you. I've got just a book for you.

I've got drug dealers and prostitutes, cheating scientists,

Russian brides, even rogue real estate agents.

In the best part, every word is true.

And oh, oh yeah, it won't cost you a penny,

What is this magical book?

It's called the Encyclopedia of Ethical Failure.

From WNYC, this is Freakinomics Radio, the podcast that explores the hidden side of everything.

So I am very pleased to present today the founding editor and current editor of one of the

most unusual publications I have ever come across.

It's called the Encyclopedia of Ethical Failure and it's published by the United States Department of Defense.

So gentlemen, can I first ask you to introduce yourselves please?

I'm Jeff Green. I'm a senior attorney in the Standards of Connickd office as part of the Office of General Counsel here, the Department of Defense.

I've moved on now. I'm the Chief Counsel for Ethics and Compliance of the Boeing Company.
