Lying, Cheating, and Stealing: A Moral Theory of White-Collar Crime

This is the first book to take a comprehensive look at white-collar criminal offenses from the perspective of moral and legal theory. It seeks to show how a range of key white-collar crimes such as fraud, perjury, false statements, obstruction of justice, bribery, extortion, blackmail, insider trading, tax evasion, and regulatory offenses, can be best understood within a framework of everyday moral concepts that includes not only lying, cheating, and stealing, but also coercion, exploitation, disloyalty, promise-breaking, and disobedience.
