The Appearance of Impropriety: How the Ethics Wars Have Undermined American Government, Business, and Society Paperback - 2002
by Peter Morgan; Glenn Reynolds
Peter Morgan and Glenn Reynolds expose the underside of our ethics excesses: how "the appearance of impropriety" has distracted businessmen, politicians and private citizens from addressing truly substantive problems time and again. The authors point to an institutional breakdown and failure to take moral responsibility; to a substitution of appearance for substance, of technicalities for judgment, and of opportunism for self-discipline.
First line
Over the last twenty-odd years, this nation has engaged in a far-reaching effort to increase public confidence in institutions through the use of ethics rules that stress appearances and procedures.
From the rear cover
For two decades, Americans have engaged in a vast campaign to clean up our ethical act in politics, in the workplace, and in local communities. We have crafted a mountain of regulations, created vast networks of committees and consultants, and become accustomed to speaking of such taboos as "conflicts of interest" and "the appearance of impropriety". Perhaps one statistic says it best: Corporations currently spend over $1 billion per year on ethics consultants. Yet at the same time, our confidence that politicians and businesspeople will "do the right thing" has dropped to an all-time low. Our ethics efforts have failed. As Peter Morgan and Glenn Reynolds entertainingly and devastatingly describe, we have made legitimate ethical concerns into absurd standards, and wielded our moral whims like dangerous weapons. The Appearance of Impropriety offers a bracing antidote for executives, group leaders, and anyone in public life: A reminder of some basic rules of good conduct that must be taken back from the pundits and bureaucrats that surround us.
