Peter deLeon argues that while it is often individuals who actually engage in political corruption, it is the US political system that condones or encourages such actions. Once this perspective is recognised, one can begin to understand ways in which the costs of corruption might be alleviated.
Detailing the history of the world up to the medieval period, this volume provides succinct historical information on early civilizations, ancient Egypt, biblical times, the Greek and Roman Empires, and the early history of Europe, as well as the development of China, Japan, Africa, India, and the Americas.
