The Vicissitudes of Corruption

Degeneration, Transgression, Jouissance

Thomas Taro Lennerfors

A profoundly thought-provoking look at corruption in contemporary society around the world, and how it is addressed both publicly and privately. The authors posit that corruption is tightly related to modernity, and explore various critiques of the modern understanding of corruption. In this fascinating and wide-ranging survey of a problem often swept under the rug, the authors use the circumstances of bribery in Swedish public sector procurement as a case study, interviewing project managers responsible for public procurement on the subject of bribes and gifts, and also considering partiality and objectivity in supplier evaluations. The reader will be surprised at the reach and depth of corruption.
