Their main objective: not to serve the public but to maximize returns for network members. From the titans of America's Gilded Age to the collapse of the stock market in 1929, the Great Depression and FDR's New Deal; from the Clinton policies of political favors and personal enrichment to Trump's hydra-headed network of corruption, systematically undoing the Constitution and our laws-- Chayes shows how corrupt systems are organized, how they enforce the rules so their crimes are covered legally, how they are overlooked and downplayed, and how they become an overt principle determining the shape of our government affecting all levels of society. -- adapted from jacket   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 364.1323 Ch Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 364.1323 Chayes Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 364.1323 Ch Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Nonfiction 364.1323 Ch Checked In Add Copy to MyList
