David Callahan - The Cheating Culture

Callahan is best known for his 2004 book, The Cheating Culture, a nonfiction work that links the rise in unethical behavior in American society to economic and regulatory trends – particularly growing inequality. The Los Angeles Times called The Cheating Culture a "lucid and thoughtful book".Esquire called it a "damning and persuasive critique of America's new economic life." In The New York Times, Chris Hedges called Callahan "a new liberal with old values." However, the libertarian magazine Reason criticized Callahan for placing too much blame for cheating on the rise of laissez-faire economics. Callahan has appeared on hundreds of radio and television programs to discuss The Cheating Culture. He has also lectured widely on the book to business groups and university audiences, frequently as a keynote speaker. Callahan continues to blog on issues of ethics, dishonesty, and fraud.
