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.

A Touchdown Toy for My Pups!
Color: Michigan Wolverines, Style: NCAA #1 Fan Toy
This has been a huge hit in our house! As a die-hard Michigan fan, I was thrilled to find a toy that combines my love for the Wolverines with my puppies playtime. The toy is well-made, durable, and the perfect size for fetch and tug-of-war games between my two pups.
Not only is it tough enough to withstand some rough play, but it also holds up well after multiple washes. If you're a Michigan fan and want to spoil your furry friend with a toy that's both functional and fan worthy, this is the perfect choice.
Go Blue and go fetch!
