Free cable television. Imaginary tax deductions. Do you take
your chance to cheat? David Callahan thinks many of us
would; witness corporate scandals, doping athletes,
plagiarizing journalists. Why all the cheating? Why now? Callahan blames the dog-eat-dog economic climate of the past
twenty years: An unfettered market and unprecedented
economic inequality have corroded our values and threaten to
corrupt the equal opportunity we cherish. Callahan's
"Winning Class" has created a separate moral reality where
it cheats without consequences-while the "Anxious Class"
believes choosing not to cheat could cancel its only shot at
success in a winner-take-all world. Updated with a new afterword analyzing the latest on
cheating from the Martha Stewart trial to the Tyco and Enron
sentencings, The Cheating Culture takes us on a gripping
tour of cheating in America and makes a powerful case for
why it matters.
