Frontmatter -- Contents -- INTRODUCTION Old Economy, New Economy; Old Corruption, New Corruption -- POWER PROJECTS Comparing Corporate Scandal and Organized Crime -- LIGHTS OUT -- CORRUPTION SCANDALS IN AMERICA AND EUROPE Enron and EU Fraud in Comparative Perspective -- NOTES ON CONTRIBUTORS
Summary: When the Enron filed the biggest bankruptcy petition in the history of the United States, if not the world, the immediate response by most politicians and financiers was that this scandal was a “failure of regulatory institutions” that can be corrected and may possibly even be a purely North American problem. However, an in-depth exploration of what happened, as undertaken in this volume, reveals that the widespread corruptions at corporate level have their roots in the transformations of socio-political conditions in the wake of an extreme fetishization of the neo-liberal market model.
