When Dr. Andrew Cameron begins his new job as Executive VP at Alpha State University, he discovers serious problems. Greed, the root of all evil, has increasingly entered the university and slowly changed the institution's purpose from the enlightenment of students and society to the pursuit of power and profit for the economic elite. The meetings of the president and board of trustees of Alpha State University are dominated by corporate CEOs. Their official actions are often corrupt or even criminal, resulting in greater power and profit for them, but also in the deterioration of teaching and distortion of research. Although the egregious practices Dr. Cameron uncovers are numerous, he is especially shocked by the university's collusion with the pharmaceutical industry to submit fraudulent research, insider trading, threats and bribes to falsify government reports, and the failure to report a rape-murder of one of its students. Cameron must decide what to do - blow the whistle and risk his career or enjoy the power and money. "The Root of All Evil" carries on the American tradition of muckraking - identifying intolerable problems in society and advocating reforms.
