Another one you might like is 'Nation of Victims: the decay of the
American character' by Charles J. Sykes. Basically it
says that people
try to justify anything they do by claiming to be victims of some
disease/syndrome etc.  There's a story about an FBI agent [no less!]
who embezzled a shitload of company funds.  He got caught, and his
lawyers claimed that he was suffering from a compulsion to spend
othre people's money.  The US produces way more lawyers than any
other industrialized nation, and so needs to keep them all busy.
Hence all the bullshit lawsuits.  Highly recommended reading.
