"Ponzi scheme" is one of the most typical scams in the 20th century and the ancestor of "pyramid scheme". In layman's terms, it means "tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall, and you will lose nothing." The principle is to use a low-investment and high-return model to continuously attract people to invest, and then use the new investors' funds as profits to old investors, and continue to defraud new investors to join through publicity and promotion. "How I Cut Leeks" introduces the life experience of Charles Ponzi in the form of an autobiography, turning the entire scam into a story, allowing readers to understand the financial world more clearly. The whole book adopts a first-person narrative method, leaving readers with a space to self-analyze and judge the rights and wrongs of the story. It does not indirectly guide the readers' thinking, which increases the authenticity of the story. "How I Cut Leeks" warns readers not to underestimate the desire and greed in their hearts, adjust their mentality in investment, and suppress the depraved "devil" in their hearts. When you realize certain problems, let them go in time. Preserving yourself is far more important than gaining a huge fortune.

Poland's magnificent and tragic life. In the end, he lost to desire.
The wheel of desire cannot be stopped simply by an individual. Recommend
Scammers are really too sophisticated these days to keep up. Mainly because it's so hard to let go in time. You still have to lower your material desires. The originator of the Ponzi scheme - Charles Ponzi's autobiography, revealed the beginning and end of the "Ponzi scheme" from the perspective of the person involved. Stopping losses of 100 billion for global stock players, showing the ups and downs of Ponzi's life. By exposing his crimes, it analyzes his use of human weaknesses to commit fraud, and provides a profound warning to the world. When you realize certain problems, let them go in time. Preserving yourself is far more important than gaining a huge fortune.
A shocking scam that wins the money and trust of investors by tearing down one wall to pay for the other. Such a scam is still believed to be true by many people. In the final analysis, it is because of human greed. We must suppress our inner desires, do not underestimate our own desires and greed, adjust our proportions in life and work, and suppress the uncontrollable demon in our hearts. Only in this way can we become our own masters. Preserving yourself is always more important than gaining wealth.
Good book. Although the whole book is very short, it is very exciting and worth reading.
Before reading it, I thought the "founder of the Ponzi scheme" must be a very smart person who is more flexible in using various scams to make money for himself!
After watching half of it, I just felt that he was so miserably deceived! ! !
After reading it, in a sense, I feel that the world is like a huge troupe. Everyone is acting together. People all have their own behaviors that they cannot accept and have to refute or struggle for. They are full of trust and are easily influenced. There are so many people in the world who seem to be rigorous. If you break them into individuals and study them carefully, you will find that they also have their own emotions, feelings, traumas, and all kinds of things that you and I have.
No wonder people like stories with human nature. It seems that humans write themselves in this way.
This autobiography is also about Ponzi, who has complex qualities. Maybe you and I also have similar parts inside, just like how different actors interpret the same emotion, but the details are different.
This book vividly shows the beginning and end of the "Ponzi Scheme" from a first-person perspective. Ponzi's experience made me deeply realize that human greed and desire are so dangerous. Just like I have been hurt in relationships because of greed and unrealistic expectations. This book is not only a book about scams, but also a profound reflection on human nature. It reminds us to stay awake in life and not to be swayed by desires. 📚
The economy is like this, the richer you are, the more money you can get!
There is a big gap in time and space, but the sense of immersion is still strong!
Wow, both story-telling and logic
Five-star support
I don't know what to say about this book. See for yourself
