Parallel Problems: Applying Institutional Corruption Analysis of Congress to Big Pharma
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 January 2021
Extract
In 1995, Dennis Thompson, the founding director of Harvard’s program in Ethics and the Professions, authored a book entitled Ethics in Congress. That subject, in and of itself, seemingly was not new. And it undoubtedly inspired a few irreverent snickers. Consider that a Goggle search of “Ethics in Congress oxymoron” recently produced 5.79 million results in just over a tenth of a second.
But it was the subtitle of the book — From Individual to Institutional Corruption — that revealed how Thompson’s tome signaled an abrupt departure from the standard paradigms for measuring political corruption.
