Book Description
Excerpt from Corruption in American Politics and Life Of the several studies making up the present work the first and second only have been published elsewhere. The writer desires to acknowledge the courtesy Of the International Journal of Ethics in permitting the reprint, without material altera tions, of the Apologies for Political Corruption, and of the Political Science Quarterly for a similar favour with regard to The Nature of Political Corruption. Objection will perhaps be made to the precedence given the Apologies over The Nature of Political Corruption in the present volume. Weak as it may be in logic this arrange ment would seem to be the better one in ethics hence the decision in its favour. Definition could wait, it was felt, until every opportunity had been given to the apologists for corruption to present their case.
