Exploring the cultural division within modern Western societies, the book highlights how this rift, exacerbated by the Internet, impacts various societal aspects. It critiques political elites for misinterpreting non-voter apathy as disinterest and emphasizes the challenges faced by the negotiating state amid this divide. Advocating for enhanced democracy and participation, it calls for the liberal elite to abandon their rigid ideologies in favor of fostering social inclusion and addressing the needs of the broader population.

This book describes the results of a research project on compliance and organizational integrity, financed by the German government and conducted over the last three years. The book offers a theoretical framework and valid instruments for measuring the outcome of compliance organizational integrity. To pinpoint the specifics of organizational integrity, and to create a framework for assessment, the book analyzes not only the cases of Siemens and Deutsche Bank but also a specific form of governmental organizations. The book includes the results of a survey of employees in five German cities, in the course of which the author conducted interviews with the personnel responsible for compliance in different organizations. In addition, during their discussions he analyzed the administrative staff with regard to the decision-making processes they were involved in.
