Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book humorously explores the concept of swindling as a historical, integral part of life. The author argues that swindling's role in society has been systematically overlooked or suppressed by other authors, and highlights the opportunities available to those who embrace its techniques. The author takes a unique and comprehensive look at the history of swindling through the ages, examining notable examples as well as its impact on various professional fields, such as law, medicine, politics, and the military, while drawing connections between swindling's role in today's world and the world of our ancestors. The book explores the many justifications for swindling across time periods, creating a fascinating history that contextualizes the practice within the history of capitalism. This book is ultimately a witty and incisive exploration of humanity's complex and often contradictory nature.
