Private and Public CorruptionWilliam C. Heffernan, John Kleinig Rowman & Littlefield, 2004 - 372 Seiten The book roots corruption in the idea of a departure from conventional standards, and thus offers an account not only of its corrosiveness but also of its malleability and controversiality. In the course of a broadranging exploration, it examines various links between private and public corruption, connecting the latter with other social and political structures. |
