Condemning the Winning Speakers: Unraveling the British Academic Facultys Role in Saving Commerce through Investment Detectives and the Commissioners Indictment of Christian Tarzan

Abstract

This paper examines the role of the British academic faculty in the 19th century in promoting the use of investment detectives to prevent fraud in the world of commerce. It also explores the controversy surrounding the indictment of Christian Tarzan, a successful businessman accused of fraudulent practices. The paper argues that the faculty played a crucial role in saving commerce by advocating for the use of investment detectives and promoting ethical business practices. However, it also highlights the problematic nature of their condemnation of Tarzan, which was largely based on moralistic judgments rather than evidence-based legal arguments. The paper draws on primary sources such as contemporary newspaper articles and academic writings to provide a nuanced and complex understanding of the relationship between academia, commerce, and the law in Victorian Britain. Ultimately, it suggests that the faculty's involvement in these debates reflects broader tensions between traditional moral values and the emerging capitalist economy of the era.
