Systemic Corruption
Institutional Foundations of Elite Rule in the United States
Book •
In "Systemic Corruption," Camilla Vergara explores the problem of oligarchy in modern democracies.
She redefines class as the division between the many who are governed and the few who govern.
Vergara argues that the tendency toward oligarchy is a persistent threat, even in socialist republics.
She suggests building class-specific institutions into constitutions, such as a tribunate of the plebs, to provide veto powers for the many and prevent the concentration of power in the hands of the few.
Vergara's work offers a fresh perspective on the challenges of maintaining popular control in complex societies and preventing the rise of systemic corruption.
