Corporate Wrongdoing and the Art of the Accusation (Key Issues in Modern Sociology,Anthem Finance)

This book addresses an old and basic question: what is the moral order of the market? ‘Corporate Wrongdoing and the Art of the Accusation’ is an exploration of accusations of wrongdoing, and the revelations these accusations expose about the dark side of capitalism and modern corporations in their relationships with suppliers, buyers, peers, investment banks and state regulators. The study explores data gathered from the past twenty years, including over a thousand accusations of economic wrongdoing in corporate America.

Robert R. Faulkner is Professor of Sociology at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
