Abstract

The book review discusses the importance of understanding financial fraud and scandal in the United Kingdom from 1700 to 2010. The author highlights the need to move this topic from a niche field to mainstream discourse, emphasizing its embeddedness in business institutions and capitalism. The study's focus on a longer timeframe and statistical analysis sets it apart, but there are suggestions for further engagement with existing literature and interdisciplinary perspectives. Overall, the review suggests that this work contributes to changing the perception of financial crime as a niche subject and advocates for cross-disciplinary collaborations in this area.
