Cheating Culture

Posted by Chris

An email from a reader alerts me to The Cheating Culture 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 and also incorporates the author’s own blog 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.)
