| Sumario: | This chapter argues for using tips, gifts, bribes, and campaign contributions as a platform for exemplifying gaps, tensions, and contradictions associated with state governance and corporate crime. The chapter begins with a reflection on the social dynamics of various forms of capital-centric exchanges and provides a basis for addressing the question: what do tips, gifts, bribes, and campaign contributions tell us about the role of the state in corporate crime? I then briefly outline the limits and political constraints of legalistic and positivist frameworks concerning corporate crime and crimes of the powerful more broadly. By making a structural analysis more personal and accessible, the aim of this chapter is to highlight the contradictions between law, power, and state governance, and the implications for theoretical and empirical scholarship on corporate power and crimes of the powerful. |
