Fraud and Corruption
This book discusses and analyses fraud and corruption cases from many industries including construction, finance, pharmaceutical, transport, retail, medical, health, communication, education and military. The book is divided into two sections. The first part presents case studies that cover several industry sectors, including not only well-known frauds like Bernie Madoff, Wells Fargo and the Enron case, but also recent events such as the Theranos/Elisabeth Holmes case. The second section of the book includes materials on fraud and corruption such as the full text of the United Nations Convention Against Corruption, the OECD Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business, and the EIB’s Anti-Fraud Policy and Whistleblowing Policy. It also includes examples about current corporate anti-corruption policies from companies like Apple, Tesla and Coca Cola. For interested readers, the book offers additionally a list of films that realistically cover the topics fraud, corruption and whistleblowing.
P.o.
p.o. is politically incorrect, vulgar and filled with profanity. In other words, it's rated R just like real life. It is a story about a retail pharmacist who after years of mental abuse by the public in a predominently welfare neighborhood loses his ability to decipher between right and wrong. The amusing and colorful antics of the residents of Durham, KY will entertain you the reader, as they drive Paul the pharmacist absolutely bonkers. As a means of coping with his stress, Paul begins poisoning his customers which ends up sending him on a journey that you just have to read to believe. In p.o. you will find comedy as well as suspense presented to you in a fashion that also makes a statement about life in these United States. Pharmacy is arguably considered the most trusted profession. After reading p.o. you might think otherwise.

The Spoils of War
Why does the United States go to war?—a leading Harper’s commentator on U.S. foreign affairs searches for answers. A withering exposé of runaway military spending and the private economic interests funding the U.S. war machine—for fans of Rachel Maddow and Democracy Now!

The US soldiers stationed in over 800 locations across the world are meant to be the righteous arbiters of justice. Against this background, Andrew Cockburn brilliantly dissects the true intentions behind Washington’s martial appetites. The American war machine ca...
Sustainability in Luxury Fashion Business
This book explores new approaches and strategies that luxury fashion brands could adopt in their operations toward sustainability goals. It addresses the unique challenges faced by luxury fashion brands, given that concepts of luxury and sustainability may be conflicting. In doing so, it elaborates on how fashion brands need to manage their suppliers to comply with and improve social and environmental conditions, the pressure to fulfill the triple-bottom lines, consumer demands for transparency, and social media and its advantages in achieving sustainability goals. Exploring the notion that luxury fashion brands are in a better position to pursue superior sustainability performance, it presents research that highlights how the consequences of non-compliance could have more devastating effects on luxury brands than on mass-market brands. The book is a valuable resource for academics and practitioners in the field of business, sustainability, and fashion.

Essential reading for anyone truly interested in saving democracy from the predations of kleptocracy and plutocracy. -Charles Davidson, The Journal of Democracy This book expands our understanding of the financial secrecy system dominating capitalism today and shows how we can create accountability to restore our democracy.
