La trama de corrupción: un estudio en la clase media y la clase trabajadora de Buenos Aires

Abstract

Corruption has been a widely debated social problem. Most academic bibliography discusses its effects on the functioning of democracy and the economy. Conversely, this study uses a micro-social perspective to analyze the way corruption operates in the experience of the middle and working classes in the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires. A qualitative methodology was used to achieve the objectives. A thematic analysis of the interviews allowed for the construction of a code system to explain ideas and beliefs underlying corrupt practices.
