Download or read book Systems Of Deceit Financial Fraud And Scandal In The United Kingdom 1700 2010 written by Steven Toms and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2024-02-28 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Financial fraud is a serious and seemingly intractable problem. Financial scandals regularly punctuate newspaper headlines and regulators and auditors appear bereft of effective responses. But has this always been the case?This book quantifies financial crime in the UK using three centuries of data. It demonstrates how financial fraud and scandal vary according to systematic economic and institutional arrangements. In doing so, it retells the history of British capitalism, from the mercantilism of the eighteenth century to the financial capitalism of the twenty-first century, illustrating the often negative consequences of economic ideology, policy and structure. It identifies periods when fraud has been less problematic and contrasts these with times when it has surged. The variation of outcomes reflects the balance of power between the state, industrial and financial sectors, the provision of credit through risky lending, and the effectiveness of audits. 'Rogue traders' and other flawed individuals are frequently the focus of blame narratives constructed with the intention of deflecting comprehensive systematic reforms.

Download or read book Gravity s Kiss written by Harry Collins and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2018-03-02 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating account, written in real time, of the unfolding of a scientific discovery: the first detection of gravitational waves. Scientists have been trying to confirm the existence of gravitational waves for fifty years. Then, in September 2015, came a “very interesting event” (as the cautious subject line in a physicist's email read) that proved to be the first detection of gravitational waves. In Gravity's Kiss, Harry Collins—who has been watching the science of gravitational wave detection for forty-three of those fifty years and has written three previous books about it—offers a final, fascinating account, written in real time, of the unfolding of one of the most remarkable scientific discoveries ever made. Predicted by Einstein in his theory of general relativity, gravitational waves carry energy from the collision or explosion of stars. Dying binary stars, for example, rotate faster and faster around each other until they merge, emitting a burst of gravitational waves. It is only with the development of extraordinarily sensitive, highly sophisticated detectors that physicists can now confirm Einstein's prediction. This is the story that Collins tells. Collins, a sociologist of science who has been embedded in the gravitational wave community since 1972, traces the detection, the analysis, the confirmation, and the public presentation and the reception of the discovery—from the first email to the final published paper and the response of professionals and the public. Collins shows that science today is collaborative, far-flung (with the physical location of the participants hardly mattering), and sometimes secretive, but still one of the few institutions that has integrity built into it.

This book was released on 2014-07-28 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While lying has been a topic in the philosophy of language, there has been a lack of genuine linguistic analysis of lying.

Download or read book Subjects of Deceit written by Alison Leigh Brown and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1998-01-22 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philosophy has traditionally concerned itself with truth and the knowledge of truth, but in recent years these concerns have been undermined or redirected. Systematic philosophy is said to be dead. Thus epistemology, according to this popular series of views, is properly transformed into epistemologies. If we accept multiple epistemologies, however, truth and lying become even more frightening and elusive: lying always coexists with truth. In this book, Alison Leigh Brown explores the connection between epistemological and moral "lying." She shows that although telling a lie (a moral category) is not the same thing as being in untruth (an epistemological category), these two aspects of life are related. Throughout the book, a phenomenology of deceit is interspersed with a continuing dialogue between the phenomenologist and one of her students.

Download or read book Chain of Deceit written by D.A. McIntosh and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 1999-01-01 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was fifty years ago when Captain Elmer Bronsly departed New York Harbor on his final voyage aboard the cargo ship MaryJean. The events that lead up to the voyage and the trip itself may have changed the course of history. He had a cargo of war supplies and three large crates marked Top Secret that was guarded by a squad of marines. He received special orders to drop out of the convoy and to deliver one of the crates to a German U-boat at a specific time and place on his North Atlantic route. He was to ask no questions, just follow orders. The orders came from the War Department. The other two crates and the rest of the cargo was to be delivered to England as planned. But things went wrong, very wrong. Now fifty years later the events of that voyage are causing a ripple effect in the very fabric of the United States government. Davin Pierce has been hired to research the mystery around the cargo ship MaryJean and why some of her cargo has turned up in a warehouse in New Orleans. Teaming up with FBI agent Connie Young they embark on a adventure neither of them bargained for. Meanwhile on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean a World War II Gato class submarine is discovered intact resting on the bottom of the ocean. The discovery of the submarine causes a stir in the Pentagon and several high ranking officers start to worry that the sub will be salvaged. Salvaging that submarine could link them to the black-market and they can not let that happen. The dilemma is to prevent its salvage but salvage operations had already begun. Naval records showed she had disappeared in 1944 while on a covert mission. In reality she never was lost, just had a change in mission from wartime to black-market. She was in service running guns and other illegal material until she mysteriously disappeared while returning from a delivery to Nigeria. Nigeria, a once peaceful country was now being run by a ruthless dictator. His terrorist activities have been linked to bombings all around the world. The most recent being the near destruction of a U.S. Nuclear submarine. And now he has acquired atomic technology and plans to use it. Chain of Deceit is a hard-hitting techno-thriller of the highest caliber. A complicated plot mixed with unforgettable characters lead us through a breathtaking race against overwhelming odds. Running against a black-market ring that is so deep in the United States government that its extent may never be truly known. And they control the most powerful military forces in the world.

Download or read book Following Christ written by Robert B. Callahan Sr. and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2012-06-11 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The latter half of Chapter 4 of Paul's letter to the Ephesians is the watershed of this magnificent document that is often referred to as the "holy of holies." Paul was never hesitant to declare God's truth as he proclaimed it to those professing faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, after praising The Triune God for the love, wisdom, and blessings bestowed upon us during the first three and one-half chapters Paul does an about face and enjoins the believers with these strong words saying, "This I . . . testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk in the vanity (futility) of their mind." He is telling the hearers that once they are Christ's they are to walk to a different drummer, the Master Himself. Paul completes the watershed transition by reminding professing Christians, "But ye have not so learned Christ." It is with these simple, single syllable words that he opens new horizons for the members of Christ's body and paves the way for enunciating the duties and responsibilities they are to learn and to do when Following Christ. This learning and practicing is not easy, but it us joyful, rewarding, and worthwhile. That is why Paul, before embarking on Christ's learning pathway, tells the followers in the way to, "put off . . . the old man; be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And . . . put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness." May we heed God's truth as revealed to Paul by the Holy Spirit. These blessings are comforting, strengthening, and manifold when committing ourselves to Walking With Jesus.
