When Dr. John M. Cobin defended himself in an act later confirmed by physical and forensic evidence, he could not have imagined that the Chilean justice system would imprison him for more than five years. In Surviving Chilean Justice, the economist and Baptist pastor turns the analytical tools of public choice on his own ordeal, examining how prosecutors, judges, police, and bureaucrats respond to incentives rather than truth. The result is a rare book: at once a harrowing first-person account of wrongful imprisonment and a clear-eyed scholarly dissection of how state institutions manufacture and sustain injustice. Cobin, an American-born Italian citizen who has lived for years in Chile, writes with the discipline of a public-policy scholar and the moral weight of a man who lived the consequences. This is both a survivor's testimony and a lasting case study in how justice systems fail.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. What happens when the machinery of justice is captured by the incentives of the people who run it? Dr. John M. Cobin answers from the inside. Wrongly convicted after an act of self-defense, this American-born economist spent five years and five months in a Chilean prison despite physical and forensic evidence of his innocence. Surviving Chilean Justice is both a first-person memoir of that ordeal and a public-choice analysis of why it happened: how prosecutors, judges, prison officials, and politicians respond to incentives rather than truth, and why political persecution flourishes in systems with weak accountability. Across twenty chapters, Cobin recounts life inside Chilean cellblocks, the workings of the criminal-justice bureaucracy, and the faith that sustained him - while applying the analytical tools of public choice economics that he taught for nearly three decades. Book 05 of the Alertness Books economics line, with references and suggested further reading. A first-person memoir and public-choice analysis of wrongful political imprisonment in Chile - by an economist who survived five years and five months inside despite forensic evidence of his innocence.
