Extract

For decades I tracked and filed information from many different sources on corporate wrongdoing, both the unethical but legal kind (all wrongdoing is unethical and some of the worst of it is made legal by a subservient government) and the illegal kind. After I retired as an industrial–organizational (I–O) psychologist I expanded substantially my archival research and eventually wrote two books that are very pertinent here.
