An email from a reader alerts me to “The Cheating Culture”:http://cheatingculture.com/ by David Callaghan, a new book which blames a whole raft of scandals in the US — from Enron to athlete doping — on the erosion of a sense of fair play in the winner-takes-all society. The book’s website has “an interview with the author”:http://cheatingculture.com/davidcallahaninterview.htm and also incorporates “the author’s own blog”:http://www.cheatingculture.com/cheatingblog.html on the issues covered by the book. Worth a look.

Sounds interesting. The Winner-Take-All Society is a fascinating and suggestive book, and I assume this book takes off from that. (Didn’t look at links – naughty – in a bit of a rush, playing hooky, etc.)
