ABSTRACT
This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters in the fourth part of this book. The part of the book addresses the issues of how political loyalty is dramaturgically generated as well as the social origins of the fraudulent generation of political loyalty. It attempts to provide the conditions under which dramaturgy comes to be used in the sociology of fraud. The part outlines the rapid capture of the film and electronics industry by the state and by the private corporation to dramatize and romanticize the uneasy alliance between state and capital. It offers a qualitative analysis of the Watergate affair. The Watergate Scandal was part of a vast effort on the part of Committee to Reelect the President to engineer the reelection of Richard Milhous Nixon by subverting, bribing, compromising, and lying about Democrats.
