The tremendous growth of big business created a world of new opportunities for criminal exploitation. The promotion and management of public companies and the trading of commercial securities proved vulnerable to the white-collar crimes of fraud and embezzlement. Problems of financial fraud were exacerbated by a climate of laissez-faire which championed the most permissive commercial legislation in the world, and white-collar crime wreaked havoc on the modern British economy. This new book examines the spread of white-collar crime from the Victorian period to the early twentieth century and offers a new perspective on modern scandals.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51940639539488,"sku":"NEW0521526124","price":68.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/white-collar-crime-in-modern-england-financial-fraud-and-business-morality-1845-1929-0521526124","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
