We often think not: recognizing that, as the old saying has it, “nice guys finish last.” But does that mean you have to go to the other extreme and be a bully or Machiavellian to get anything done?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In \u003ci\u003eThe Art of Fairness\u003c\/i\u003e, bestselling author David Bodanis uses thrilling case studies to show there's a better path, leading neatly in between.
