Ethics in Congress: From Individual to Institutional Corruption

by Dennis F. Thompson

Ethics in Congress: From Individual to Institutional Corruption Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The reputation of Congress is not high, and anyone who writes about its ethics runs the risk of either encouraging the bashers or joining the apologists. This book was written in a spirit of respect for Congress and with an attitude of admiration for most of those who serve as members.

Synopsis:

Dennis Thompson shows how Congress as an institution is posing new ethical challenges and how the complexity of the environment in which members work creates new occasions for corruption and invites more calls for accountability.

Description:

Includes bibliographical references (p. 191-238) and index.
