(Modern capitalism and political freedom rest on concepts ...)
Modern capitalism and political freedom rest on concepts of conscience and morality, and abhor concentrations of unbridled power. America's economic and political system has developed mechanisms designed to check and balance such power. Despite these mechanisms, there are chief executives who abuse their power in a fraudulent and self-serving pursuit of wealth and authority. How did this happen? How did the system respond? What can be done to prevent it in the future? Corruption in Corporate America seeks to answer these questions.
