The Cheating Culture

<strong>Cheating on every level--from highly publicized corporate scandals to Little League fraud--has risen dramatically in recent decades. Why all the cheating? Why now?<br/><br/></strong>You're standing at an ATM. It can't access account information but allows unlimited withdrawals. Do you take more than your balance? David Callahan thinks most of us would. <br/><br/>Callahan pins the blame on the dog-eat-dog economic climate of the past two decades. An unfettered market and unprecedented economic inequality have corroded our values he argues--and ultimately threaten the level playing field so central to American democracy itself. Through revealing interviews and extensive data he takes us on a gripping tour of cheating in America and offers a powerful argument for why it matters. <br/><br/>Lucidly written scrupulously argued <em>The Cheating Culture</em> is an important original examination of the hidden costs of the boom years.
