Abstract
Cheating on every level has risen dramatically in the last two decades. Why all the cheating? Callahan pins the blame on the dog-eat-dog economic climate of the past two decades. An unfettered market and unprecedented economic inequality have corroded our values, he argues-and ultimately threaten the level playing field so central to American democracy itself.
