Samantha Jones | 7 comments I feel that the main theme of this book is primarily how incentives affect people. From real estate agents to teachers, everyone has the power to cheat and lie if the prize is good enough. The fact that everyone will cheat and lie disgusts me, although I know it is true. This makes me wonder if there are truthfully any faithful and true people in the world. When I wrote that sentence, I thought to myself, "Peekay I suppose is a true person who does not cheat," but that is not even a real life example. I cant think of one person who would not cheat for a million dollars or someone who would not lie to save their marriage if they truly cared about them. This chapter made me wonder if anyone in this world is true and how strongly society is driven by incentives.
