From Virtue to Venality

Více o knize

Corruption in British urban society from 1930 to 1995 is explored through a historical lens, moving beyond traditional political analysis to highlight cultural influences. The book examines the decline of ethical public service ideals and the impact of a weakened civil society, which has allowed corruption to flourish among politicians and business leaders. It analyzes significant case studies, including scandals in Glasgow and Westminster, illustrating vulnerabilities across political parties. This work is particularly relevant for those studying the intersection of history and politics in relation to corruption in Britain.
