Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

What happens when integrity quietly disappears from everyday life?Corruption rarely begins with dramatic scandals or headline-making crimes. More often, it starts with small compromises, silent acceptance, and the gradual erosion of moral values. The Quiet Collapse explores this hidden crisis and its far-reaching consequences for individuals, institutions, and nations.In this thought-provoking work, Prof. V. I. Obi examines the global decline of integrity while giving special attention to the unique social, political, economic, and cultural realities of Africa-particularly Nigeria. Drawing on historical perspectives, contemporary events, ethical principles, and real-world examples, the book investigates how corruption, weak institutions, political opportunism, religious hypocrisy, misinformation, and social pressures have contributed to the weakening of public trust and national development.Rather than merely exposing problems, The Quiet Collapse challenges readers to reflect on the values that sustain just societies and to consider practical pathways toward rebuilding integrity in public life, governance, education, business, religious institutions, and everyday human relationships.This book is an essential resource for: - Policymakers and public administrators- Academics, researchers, and students- Civic leaders and anti-corruption advocates- Religious and community leaders- Anyone concerned about ethics, leadership, governance, and sustainable developmentBalanced, insightful, and deeply relevant, The Quiet Collapse is more than an analysis of corruption-it is a compelling call for moral renewal. It reminds us that the strength of any nation depends not only on its wealth or institutions but also on the integrity of its people.If integrity is the foundation of civilization, what happens when that foundation begins to crumble? This book offers both a timely diagnosis and a hopeful vision for rebuilding it.
