Corruption in Corporate America - Who Is Responsible? Who Will Protect the Public Interest?

Informationen zum Autor Abraham L. Gitlow is Dean Emeritus and Professor Emeritus of Economics at New York University. Klappentext Modern capitalism and political freedom rest on concepts of conscience and morality, and abhor concentrations of unbridled power. America's economic and political system has developed mechanisms designed to check and balance such power. Despite these mechanisms, there are chief executives who abuse their power in a fraudulent and self-serving pursuit of wealth and authority. How did this happen? How did the system respond? What can be done to prevent it in the future? Corruption in Corporate America seeks to answer these questions. Zusammenfassung Contributes to a revived confidence in the integrity of corporate accounts! and thereby sustains the vitality of America's capital markets! which are vital to our future economic well-being.
