    Lying for Money: How Legendary Frauds Reveal the Workings of the World
    An entertaining, deeply informative explanation of how high-level financial crimes work, written "with verve and wit" (The Sunday Times, London) by an industry insider who's an expert in the field. The way most white-collar crime works is by manipulating institutional psychology. That means creating something that looks as much as possible like a normal set of transactions. The drama comes later, when it all unwinds. Financial crime seems horribly complicated, but there are only so many ways you can con someone out of what's theirs. In Lying for Money, veteran regulatory economist and market analyst Dan Davies tells the story of fraud through a genealogy of financial malfeasance, including: the Great Salad Oil swindle, the Pigeon King International fraud, the fictional British colony of Poyais in South America, the Boston Ladies' Deposit Company, the Portuguese Banknote Affair, Theranos, and the Bre-X scam. Davies brings new insights into these schemes and shows how all frauds, current and historical, belong to one of four categories ("long firm," counterfeiting, control fraud, and market crimes) and operate on the same basic principles. The only elements that change are the victims, the scammers, and the terminology. Revealing some of the most famous frauds of the modern age, Davies explains how fraud has shaped the entire development of the modern world economy. For those "who like their true-crime stories laced with economics will enjoy these forays into the dark side" (Kirkus Reviews) this is a gripping and vivid look at modern market societies.

    Channeling! What Is It?: How Does It Work? How to Learn It? How to Do It? , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 153min
    Not all will be interested in a book about channeling. After all, there are many channels and mediums already - some of them charge for their services while others do not. However, these people have varying levels of proficiency. Some are really good while others are merely delusional. There are also those who are not really psychics but scammers who take advantage of people's cluelessness of the spirit world. Because getting a good channel or medium can be difficult, it's a good idea that you decided to learn the skill of channeling. You will protect yourself from the ignorant and deceitful if you do the work yourself. Aside from that, a psychic or medium can relay messages from the spirit to you but unless you know how to distinguish true contact from the false, you can be fooled in many ways. Even if the contact is authentic, it's much better if you don't depend on an outsider to receive and act upon the message. After all, spirit messages are often highly personal and aimed for the transformation of the individual in many levels. You will get more from the message if you experience it yourself and not simply hear a stranger say it to you. This book will teach you what channeling is, how it works, and how you can do it to! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Scott Carrico.

    Summary and Analysis of Everything Is Bullshit: The Greatest Scams on Earth Revealed , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 50min
    Everything is Bulls--t is a well-researched and written book that peels back the layers of lies and distortions about some of our most cherished and respected social and economic beliefs. The authors, three members of Priceonomics, have divided the book into four sections. Each of these sections deals with different aspects of society. The sections include status symbols, power structures, the business of manipulation, and human decency. Each section is further divided into chapters that investigate an individual story which has a greater effect on society than is initially imagined. The first three sections deal with corporations taking advantage of consumers or government taking advantage of its members. The fourth section, however, is about regular people taking advantage of each other or being put in untenable situations and having to get through them. This book starts with a discussion of the "big lie." The lies that are so big and pervasive that no one questions them. Whether it is Hitler's propaganda machine, the anti-communist movement or many other examples, governments and big business use the big lie to make their customers accept the ridiculous and false as truth. Here is a preview of what you'll learn: General Overview and Summary of Everything is Bulls--t: The Greatest Scams on Earth Revealed How To Avoid Getting Scammed The Reason Why There Is An Increasing Amount Of Scammers Learn How To Recognize A Scam Before You Fall Victim To It ungekürzt.
