You\'re standing at an ATM. It can\'t access account information but allows unlimited withdrawals. Do you take more than your balance? David Callahan thinks most of us would.

Why all the cheating? Why now?
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.
