Where a person in power is motivated more by, e.g., money to their campaign, support for favored research, term paper, etc., than the interests they claim to or otherwise should be advancing." And this is obviously a HUGE contemporary issue that cuts across all cultures and nations. It'd be interesting to look at this, maybe documenting instances and resistances. “Corruption / Corporate Pimps and Whores”
