Omschrijving

Understand financial crime and you understand the world. Here's how.

Dan Davies tells all these stories with verve and wit ... Much of the book is a romp through the crimes of scoundrels - Ponzi, Madoff, Keating, the Krays ... Yet what takes it from absorbing to excellent is the author's insight. Read Lying for Money and you will look at fraud in a whole new way. Actually, you will look at every market transaction you take part in in a whole new way.

Entertaining

Highly entertaining, historically fascinating but also intellectually rigorous

If you want to learn to fend fraud, read this. And if you want to commit fraud ... don't. But if you absolutely must, first read this

An engaging and indispensable guide for novice fraudsters - and for those who want to keep out of their clutches.

A vivid, historical account of scams and the con artists behind them. Beyond the individual stories, Davies makes a deep and important point about market societies ... This delightful book is as instructive as it is entertaining.

I haven't had this much fun and learned this much reading a finance book since The Money Game.

Davies is one of these people who's automatically the smartest person in any conversation that he joins.

Fascinating, gripping - and true ... This is a terrific read.

Dan Davies is a former regulatory economist at the Bank of England and analyst for a number of investment banks. His career has seen him tackle all manner of financial crookedness, including the LIBOR and FX scandals, the collapse of Anglo Irish Bank and the Swiss Nazi gold scandal. He has written for the Financial Times and the New Yorker among other publications.
