The republic of virtue how we tried to ban corruption, failed, and what we can do about it
Buckley, F. H.
The republic of virtue how we tried to ban corruption, failed, and what we can do about it - New York Encounter Books 2017 - 261p., 4 unnumbered pages of plates : ill. (chiefly col.) ; 24 cm
Includes bibliographical references (pages 205-246) and index.
Public corruption is the silent killer of our economy. We?ve spawned the thickest network of patronage and influence ever seen in any country, a crony capitalism in which business partners with government and transfers wealth from the poor to the rich. This is a betrayal of the Framers? vision for America, and of the Constitution they saw as an anti-corruption covenant. Most Americans get it, and this explains the otherwise improbable rise of Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders.
