Respectable Citizens - Shady Practices seeks to explore a
previously neglected aspect of crime in modern society - namely
those crimes that are committed by otherwise 'respectable' citizens
in the market arena. The book delves into the 'grey zone' where
illegal, unfair, unethical, and 'shady' practices coalesce: from
the retailers who see themselves as victims of customers who take
unfair and often illegal advantage of generous offers, to the
consumers sold 'useless' insurance and financial packages and
'defrauded' by 'small print' clauses.The authors outline the
contours of the contemporary moral economy, driven and shaped by
technological innovation as much as new economic policies, and ask,
is a 'predatory society' emerging from the central sphere of
consumption?
