Corrupted Kingdom

Robert Barrington

£22.00


Britain is complacent about corruption. We are used to thinking of ourselves as firm defenders of fairness and the rule of law. But our institutions have never been more corrupt, from scandals in parliament and local government to crises in housing and the NHS. The evidence is impossible to ignore. Political leaders face a clear choice: tackle corruption or continue on the road to decline. Robert Barrington is one of the world's leading researchers on corruption. 'Corrupted Kingdom' is his comprehensive examination of how corruption manifests in Britain, from politicians to prisons, the Monarchy and the Met. He assesses the origins of corruption, from Londongrad to the end of Empire, and shows how we can best reverse the decline and restore trust in politics and the democratic process. Vital and authoritative, this book provides an essential insight into why the abuse of power harms us all - and how we can banish corruption for good.
