Whether it’s sports, taxes, insurance or in the workplace, cheating is estimated to cost nearly a trillion dollars annually. In her new book “Cheating,” Stanford law professor Deborah Rhode offers an overview of the ubiquitous problem, including recent newsworthy cases such as the fake accounts scandal at Wells Fargo. Rhode joins Forum to talk about everyday cheating, why and how it happens, and what we can do about it.
