Has the philosophy of personal responsibility ruined criminal justice and economic policy?

Boston Review has a Forum up right now you need to check out--Beyond Blame: Would we better off in a world without blame?

Barbara H. Fried opens the debate staking the claim that the philosophy of personal responsibility has ruined criminal justice and economic policy.  That it's time to move past blame.  I'm inclined broadly to agree with her.

The Forum includes some good follow ups from others which I am reading my way through now.

Do check it out.
