Opis

Peter Morgan and Glenn Reynolds expose the underside of our ethics excesses: how "the appearance of impropriety" has distracted businessmen, politicians and private citizens from addressing truly substantive problems time and again. The authors point to an institutional breakdown and failure to take moral responsibility; to a substitution of appearance for substance, of technicalities for judgment, and of opportunism for self-discipline.
