Summary: 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.
"Everybody does it" -- Leaner and meaner : cheating in a new bottom line economy -- Winning at any cost : bigger rewards, bolder lies -- A question of character : new values, new excuses -- Temptation nation : the dismantling of disincentive -- Trickle down corruption : the fears and compensations of the anxious class -- Early and often : cheating from the starting line -- A small price to pay : crime and no punishment -- Dodging Brazil.
