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.
