Книга кандидата экономических наук Ю. В. Кузовкова посвящена феномену крупной коррупции в истории государств и цивилизаций, а также в современном мире. В ней рассматриваются примеры государств, пораженных крупной коррупцией, начиная с глубокой древности и заканчивая сегодняшним днем, анализируются причины их гибели или, наоборот, последующего расцвета. Работа построена на анализе около 1000 книг и трудов в области общей, социальной, экономической и демографической истории; в книге содержится квинтэссенция (выжимка) из этих трудов по рассматриваемой теме, изложенная языком, доступным для широкого читателя – в чем и состоит, по определению самого автора, применяемый им метод – метод исторического синтеза. По мнению автора, изучение мировой истории коррупции позволило сформулировать новую историческую концепцию развития человечества (взамен утратившей свою актуальность концепции Маркса), которая излагается в конце книги. Предлагаемая вашему вниманию книга является второй книгой трилогии автора «Неизвестная история» (первая книга: «Глобализация и спираль истории», третья книга: «История коррупции в России»). Книга адресована широкому кругу читателей, интересующихся историей и острыми проблемами современности, а также историкам и экономистам.

For more than three decades, rational-choice theory has reigned as the dominant approach both for interpreting crime and as underpinning for crime-control programs. Although it has been applied to an array of street crimes, white-collar crime and those who commit it have thus far received less attention. Choosing White-Collar Crime is a systematic application of rational-choice theory to problems of explaining and controlling white-collar crime. It distinguishes ordinary and upperworld white-collar crime and presents reasons theoretically for believing that both have increased substantially in recent decades. Reasons for the increase include the growing supply of white-collar lure and non-credible oversight. Choosing White-Collar Crime also examines criminal decision making by white-collar criminals and their criminal careers. The book concludes with reasons for believing that problems of white-collar crime will continue unchecked in the increasingly global economy and calls for strengthened citizen movements to rein in the increases.
