Description

Author: Alfred W. McCoy

Winner of National Book Award for Social Sciences, this pioneering volume reveals how the power of the country's family-based oligarchy both derives form and contributes to a weak Philippine state. From provincial warlords to modern managers, prominent Filipino leaders have fused family, and business to compromise public institutions and amass private wealth--a historic pattern that persists to the present.
