A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

'A Ponzi n. (pon-zee) scheme is a type of pyramid scheme - a fraud. Depositors are promised huge returns, but those returns are a mirage, paid out only as long as there is money coming in from new investors. As long as the scheme is expanding, everything looks fine - but you can't tell how bad a Ponzi scheme is by how you experience the ride. It's not the ride that matters, it's the way it ends. And it always ends badly.' Mitch Feierstein

If you want to understand the financial mess we are in now, and what is likely to happen next, you can't afford not to read him.' Ruth Sunderland, Associate City Editor, Daily Mail

'As a former member of the US House of Representatives, prosecutor and MD of Real-Estate & Infrastructure Group at J.P. Morgan, I'm thrilled that someone like Mitch is using this megaphone to sound the alarm.It takes someone with his background to take us behind the PR spin and superficial headlines to discover the truth.'
