We've been told again and again that life is unfair. But what if
we're wrong simply to resign ourselves to this situation? What if
we have the power - and more, the duty - to change society for the
better? We do. And our very nature inclines us to do so. That's the
provocative argument Peter Corning makes in "The Fair Society".
Drawing on the evidence from our evolutionary history and the
emergent science of human nature, Corning shows that we have an
innate sense of fairness. While these impulses can easily be
subverted by greed and demagoguery, they can also be harnessed for
good. Corning brings together the latest findings from the
behavioral and biological sciences to help us understand how to
move beyond the Madoffs and Enrons in our midst in order to lay the
foundation for a new social contract - a biosocial contract built
on a deep understanding of human nature and a commitment to
fairness. He then proposes a sweeping set of economic and political
reforms based on principles of fairness that could transform our
society and our world. At this crisis point for capitalism, Corning
reveals that the proper response to bank bailouts and financial
chicanery isn't to get mad - it's to get fair.
