Thinking About Political Corruption

Provides a theoretical model of political corruption, and applies it to five recent scandals involving the US government, all, oddly enough, during the Reagan administration: HUD, Wedtech, military procurement, savings and loan, and Iran/Contra. DeLeon (public policy, U of Colorado) also suggests what private citizens can do about the problem. Paper edition (839-6), $16.50. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
