This book considers the contexts in which people tell lies and explores the consequences of lying. The author looks at societies with distinctive religious and ethical traditions where lying is the norm. He also shows how children acquire the capacity to lie at an early age, and learn when it is appropriate to do so. In conclusion, Professor Barnes argues that people are actually inclined towards telling the truth, for a variety of moral and pragmatic reasons.

Críticas:
"Barnes composes a vision of lying that interlaces material from an impressive array of sources...The typology of lies expostulated in the book could possibly provide researchers with a foil for generating testable hypotheses." Mark L. Harvey, Comtemporary Psychology

"...an impeccably scholarly survey...." Contemporary Sociology
Contraportada:
Defining lies as statements that are intended to deceive, this book considers the contexts in which people tell lies and explores the consequences. Professor Barnes argues that although there are, in all societies, good pragmatic reasons for not lying all the time, there are strong reasons for lying some of the time.
