An epidemic of corruption is tainting politics and trade across the globe. Power and Corruption reveals there are major scandals in almost every country which the police are powerless to prevent. The author questions the morality of major companies where pay-offs and kick-backs are an accepted method of clinching a deal; he also asks why so few people are prepared to stop the worst excesses. The author analyses why police forces and governments do not have the capacity to tackle corruption; his disturbing conclusion is that governments lack the will to stop the rot. |
