Description:The many lives of corruption begins the task of piecing together the bigger picture of how corruption has undermined public life in modern Britain. It offers a uniquely expansive perspective which stretches from the Old Corruption and 'unreformed' politics of the eighteenth century through to the mass democracy and Welfare State of the twentieth.Conceptually, as an object of thought, as much as practically, as an object of reform, corruption has proved tenaciously problematic and protean. This volume engages with both of these crucial aspects, arguing that it is only by grasping them together that we can fully understand how corruption has shaped the making of a democratic-capitalist state in Britain, and given rise to new ideals of public service. It examines the factors that have facilitated and frustrated anticorruption reforms, as well as the various ways 'corruption' has been conceived by historical agents. It does so across a range of different sites - electoral, political and administrative, domestic and colonial - presenting new research on neglected areas of reform, while revisiting well-known scandals and corrupt practices.The many lives of corruption is essential reading for all scholars interested in understanding how the pursuit of purity in British public life has evolved over the past two and a half centuries - and why corruption remains such a pressing issue today.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
