About This Book

An essay collection that identifies twelve social and moral causes of dishonesty, tracing how economic reverses, speculative prosperity, social and political turmoil, weakening family authority, popular ignorance, and lax law enforcement create conditions for widespread fraud and moral decay. Each cause is examined with illustrative commentary linking individual choices, institutional failures, and religious decline, and the author urges restoration of personal integrity, stronger family and civic discipline, and religious and legal remedies to curb recurring moral epidemics.
