Reputation

A sharp and witty rumination on the nature of reputation in contemporary western civilization, this volume touches upon how reputation is built, fostered, and lost in the fields of sport, politics, business, and advertising. The examination carefully defines the line between public and private life and also distinguishes when the line has been inadvertently crossed. The study is supported by an explanation of how the concept of reputation has changed over time as well as how it translates across differing cultures.
