Discover the eye-opening insights of Colin Crouch in 'The Knowledge Corrupters', a compelling exploration of how our modern, advanced, market-driven world is fundamentally shaped by knowledge yet plagued by its corruption. With its 200 engaging pages, this brand-new book (ISBN: 9780745669861) delves into the realities of post-democracy, critiquing how profit-driven motives in corporations distort and undermine valuable knowledge. Crouch powerfully argues that executives in media and corporate sectors prioritize financial gain over genuine information, leading to the degradation of knowledge in public discourse. This essential read reveals how the manipulation of public knowledge serves the interests of a few at the expense of broader society, particularly as similar tactics infiltrate professional public services. By uncovering the intricate power dynamics at play among citizens, professionals, managers, and financiers, Crouch presents a transformative perspective on reshaping societal relationships. This thought-provoking book is ideal for students, policy-makers, and industry professionals eager to understand the complexities of knowledge in our contemporary world.

Description:


In principle the advanced, market-driven world in which we now live is fuelled by knowledge, information and transparency, but in practice the processes that produce this world systematically corrupt and denigrate knowledge: this is the powerful and provocative argument advanced by Colin Crouch in his latest exploration of societies on the road to post-democracy.



Crouch shows that executives in profit-maximizing corporations have incentives to ignore or distort knowledge, especially firms in the information business of the mass media themselves, as financial knowledge increasingly trumps the other kinds of knowledge that business needs. Firms also seek to take control of public knowledge and use it for their own ends, often at the cost of other stakeholders in society. Meanwhile the transfer of similar practices to professional public services undermines professional skills and ethics - especially when these services are out-sourced to the private sector. Attempts to extricate ourselves from these problems involve reshaping the complex and often conflicting relationships among citizens, professionals, managers and financiers.



This new book by one of the most incisive critics of contemporary Western societies will be of interest to a wide range of readers, from students to policy-makers and those who work in the public and private sectors.

just buy them
Size: 300 Count (Pack of 1)
Look.. They are paper plates. Are they thin? yes; use two of them, they are cheap enough. If you want "sturdy" to hold your spaghetti or thanksgiving dinner, then use a regular plate and get out of the review section. We use for pizza, sandwiches, hotdogs normal paper plates foods to avoid washing dishes 17times day. If my kids use 25 in one day. so what; each plate cost less than a penny. Bought 300ct in Feb 2025. It's April 2025 and I'm getting ready to place a 2nd order.

Low Quality, High Quantity, But Definitely Overpriced
Size: 500 Count (Pack of 1), Size: 500 Count (Pack of 1)
When did low quality paper plates start costing so much? Yes, you get 500, but these are very thin and I tend to use 2 or 3 at a time, especially when they stick and I don’t want to deal with ripping them apart. These are just ok. Nothing quality about these plates but they do what I need when I use those paper plate holders to keep them supported.

NICE for soups!
Style: 34 Ounces, Size: 34 Count
We try to keep these in the house. They are REALLY nicely sized and work great for soups. They are AWESOME for soups and the only disposable plates I feel comfy using for large stews and such. Makes cleaning easy because I don't HAVE TO CLEAN! They are a bit more expensive than otherd disposable plates, but they are worth it. Pretty heavy duty plates that are thick and great for heavier foods. <3
