Lie to your boss, and you're fired. Skip your taxes, and the IRS comes knocking. Swipe a stapler from work, and suddenly you’re in corporate exile.

Why Most of Us Are Being Misled Once upon a time, we got our news from newspapers. Real, physical paper that smudged your fingers and smelled like fresh ink.
