| Sumario: | Whenever anything goes wrong our first instinct is often to find someone to blame. Blame infuses our society in myriad ways, seeding rancor and revenge, dividing lovers, coworkers, communities, and nations.

Fineman focuses on blame's roots and enduring manifestations, from the witch hunts of the past to today's more buttoned-up scape. |
