Abstract
CORRUPTION IN BUSINESS, ACCORDING TO THE EDITOR, IS FREQUENT, WIDESPREAD, AND FAMILIAR. THERE HAVE BEEN VIOLATIONS IN ANTITRUST REGULATIONS, AND FRAUD AND ABUSE IN THE EXCHANGE OF SECURITIES. THIS BOOK GOES INTO OVERSEAS BRIBERY AND CORRUPTION. IT TOUCHES ON THE LOCKHEED CASE AND MATTERS INVOLVING GULF OIL, NORTHRUP, AND UNITED BRANDS. THE LINK BETWEEN POLITICS AND CORRUPTION IS ALSO EXAMINED, SUCH AS THE ITT CASE, DAIRY COMPANY PAYOFFS TO POLITICIANS, AND FEDERAL AID TO PROMINENT REPUBLICAN SUPPORTERS.
