From Virtue to Venality: Corruption in the City
ISBN: 9780719088728 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Virtue to Venality examines the problem of corruption in British urban society and politics between 1930 and 1995.

The accounts of corruption in Glasgow - a British Chicago - as well as the major corruption scandals of John Poulson and T. Dan Smith show how Labour-controlled towns and cities were especially vulnerable to corrupt dealings. By contrast the case of Dame Shirley Porter in the City of Westminster in the late 1980s reveals that...
