What would you do if your bank machine couldn't keep track of your account information? Callahan thinks most people would overdraw their accounts, like the 4,000 people who helped themselves to 15 million dollars from the Municipal Credit Union of New York following the September 11 terrorist attacks. America has become a nation of cheaters. Now more than ever, people are bending rules and breaking laws to get what they want.
From the Enron scandal to the dot-com collapses to the plagiarism that has rocked the publishing world, this remarkable book exposes the new culture of cheating while offering reasonable suggestions for righting the wrongs.
What the critics say
"The book's strength lies in tying together assorted detailed descriptions of cheating throughout the system and explaining the connections between disparate acts.... He offers straightforward, commonsensical solutions, including increased funding for federal enforcement agencies." (Publishers Weekly)
"Callahan took a broad approach, encompassing different professions, our government and legal system, the economy, popular culture, and people's values....Meticulously researched." (Booklist)
