Description

Through a new theory called Contextual Anomie/Strain Theory, Matthew Robinson and Daniel Murphy explain why deviance and crime are so widespread in American corporations. Exploring the simultaneous use of legitimate (i.e., legal) and illegitimate (i.e., deviant or illegal) means of opportunity in pursuit of one's goals, Greed is Good explains various forms of elite deviance and corporate crime.
