The Los Angeles Times called The Cheating Culture a "lucid and thoughtful book".Esquire called it a "damning and persuasive critique of America's new economic life." In The New York Times, Chris Hedges called Callahan "a new liberal with old values." However, the libertarian magazine Reason criticized Callahan for placing too much blame for cheating on the rise of laissez-faire economics. Callahan has appeared on hundreds of radio and television programs to discuss The Cheating Culture. He has also lectured widely on the book to business groups and university audiences, frequently as a keynote speaker. Callahan continues to blog on issues of ethics, dishonesty, and fraud.

Famous quotes containing the words cheating and/or culture:
“Grant me profits only, grant me the joy of profit made,

—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
“To be a Negro is to participate in a culture of poverty and fear that goes far deeper than any law for or against discrimination.... After the racist statutes are all struck down, after legal equality has been achieved in the schools and in the courts, there remains the profound institutionalized and abiding wrong that white America has worked on the Negro for so long.”
—Michael Harrington (1928–1989)
