A clear-eyed warning about the increasingly destructive influence of America’s “shame industrial complex” in the age of social media and hyper-partisan politics―from the New York Times bestselling author of Weapons of Math DestructionShame is a powerful and sometimes useful tool: When we publicly shame corrupt politicians, abusive celebrities, or predatory corporations, we reinforce values of fairness and justice.

It is increasingly being weaponized―used as a way to shift responsibility for social problems from institutions to individuals. Shaming children for not being able to afford school lunches or adults for not being able to find work lets us off the hook as a society. After all, why pay higher taxes to fund programs for people who are fundamentally unworthy?O’Neil explores the machinery behind all this shame, showing how governments, corporations, and the healthcare system capitalize
