Honesty, Fairness and Corruption in the European History - Volume II

By Sascha Ferber

What if the scandals that define our age - Wirecard, Qatargate, FTX, Cum-Ex - are not mere failures of individuals, but the modern face of forces that have shaped European history for two millennia?

In this compelling second volume, Dr. Sascha Ferber turns from the deep historical diagnosis of Volume I to the living pathologies of the present. Through rigorous root-cause analysis of landmark cases and a sweeping Atlas of twenty-four contemporary scandals across economy, politics, media and civil society, he reveals how the venality of office, institutional capture, monetary decay and the erosion of civic loyalty continue to hollow out the foundations of prosperity and democracy.

Yet this is no mere catalogue of failures. Rejecting the prevailing faith in ever denser regulation, Ferber advances a powerful alternative: substantive economic ethics. Drawing on the living inheritance of bourgeois virtues, a clear stakeholder architecture, and the practical vision of Holistic Capitalism - illustrated by Patagonia, the Mondrag n cooperatives, Europe's Hidden Champions and Swiss family enterprise - he charts a path of cultural and institutional renewal.

Elegant in analysis, urgent in diagnosis and profoundly hopeful in its program, this book demonstrates a timeless truth: the fate of nations is decided in the morality of their institutions.
