He describes t he structural decay that plagues many of our most powerful institutions, pu tting democracy itself in danger." --George Soros A David-and-Goliath story for our times: the riveting account of the heroes who are fighting a rising tide of wrongdoing by the powerful, and showing us the path forward. We live in a period of sweeping corruption -- and a golden age of whistlebl owing. Over the past few decades, principled insiders who expose wrongdoing have gained unprecedented legal and social stature, emerging as the govern ment's best weapon against corporate misconduct--and the citizenry's best d efense against government gone bad. Whistleblowers force us to confront fun damental questions about the balance between free speech and state secrecy, and between individual morality and corporate power. In Crisis of Conscience, Tom Mueller traces the rise of whistleblowing through a series of riveting cases drawn from the worlds of healthcare and other businesses, Wall Street, and Washing.
