Author: Craig Whitlock
This episode explores Fat Leonard: How One Man Bribed, Bilked, and Seduced the U.S. Navy by Craig Whitlock as a systems-level analysis of how military contracting culture, command discretion, and institutional entitlement influence behavior, belief, and institutional outcomes.
By focusing on incentive architecture rather than personalities or events, the episode shows why these systems persist — and how they connect to larger economic, political, and cultural structures.
