Description
Robin Banerjee's engaging, rigorously researched, and often darkly humorous account of the full spectrum of human deception—from financial fraud and corporate corruption to the everyday small lies that everyone tells and no one admits to—provides both a compelling guide to how cheating actually works in practice and a genuinely illuminating window into the psychology and the sociology of dishonesty at every level of human organization. Written with the wit of a seasoned observer of human economic behavior and the authority of someone who has studied these phenomena closely, this is essential reading for every person curious about the gap between the world's stated values and its actual behavior. A genuinely fascinating work.
