It so happened that the speakers of Sergei Golubitsky in “Computerra” I never really liked.
However, by the will of fate, I downloaded the book “What is your god's name? Great frauds of the XX century ". The author - Sergey Golubitsky. Having crossed over and being ready for everyone, I proceeded to a painful reading.
Torment, however, was not. It turns out that outside of "Computerra" Sergey Golubitsky does not spew tons of pompous humor and humor and pathos, as it should be a specialist in exchange trading, writes popular science books. Such unconditionally and can be considered "scams."
Actually, the book itself is divided into three approximately equal parts.
The first is an introduction and several histories of fraud of various scales: from medical transplantation of the genitals of goats to people, to the construction of the Panama Canal.
The second third is devoted to fraud in the US stock markets. Here, however, stands out the story of Amway, to which the author seems to have special feelings (“I feel such personal dislike, I can't even eat”).
Finally, the third period of the struggle of Golubitsky and swindlers completely went under the description of the life and death of the (financial) Enron corporation. Sergei himself calls this part of the book "economic novel." In principle, deserved.
In general, “Scams” ​​are read with great interest even without much knowledge of economic terminology and economic realities. Moreover, as befits a popular science book, “Scams” ​​implicitly force the reader to delve into the designated topic, with keen interest in opening to him the sphere of stock trading and corporate management.
The disadvantages of the work include the emotional tinge of certain moments, which is so peculiar to Golubitsky, and the often recurring tendency to a dramatic “misery” of endings. For example, the epic with "Enron" ends literally in mid-sentence.
