Last week on This American Life the theme was 'Ruining it for the rest of us...' and what happens when one person's actions or choices affect a lot of other people.
The opening was a study of group dynamics and behavior by a Professor of Management who found that one bad apple could spoil the whole bunch girl; and it's something that I have seen myself as a manager of people. It's so easy to be negative that if someone on your team starts enticing you there you tend to slide right into hell with them.
This business of our choices affecting others is nowhere more evident than the subprime lending crisis. People borrowing money they can't afford to repay affects us all. Our choices aren't made in a vacuum.
