Description:
One of the more controversial on-going debates in the social sciences concerns the relationship between business, government, and society. This original study makes a significant contribution to that debate by analyzing the relationship between political pressure and corporate philanthropy. Specifically, the effects of public opinion, interest group pressure, regulation, and formalized corporate-government relations along with various economic data are tested. The author develops compelling and thought-provoking hypotheses and tests them with unique, revealing data and appropriate statistical techniques.
