It is key to the Western understanding of a liberal society. We expect transparency from, for instance, political institutions, corporations, and the media. But how did it become such a powerfuland globalidea? From ancient glass to Apples corporate headquarters, this book is the first to probe how Western people have experienced, conceptualized, and evaluated transparency.
