AUTHOR

Ned Beaumont

SUMMARY

This book tells us clearly just what rackets are and why human nature seems to make them both omnipresent and inevitable. At the root of these exposed rackets lies "the theory of rackets," rackets being the schemes by which the lazy and the incompetent seek to gain something for nothing. Ned Beaumont targets the government, but only in relation to the banks and the money system, big time sports, computer culture, and big media. His ammunition consists of a broad range of examples drawn from history, literature, and the daily news, but his reat aim is directed toward the reader's mind. Using humor, Ned wants us to see through the self-importance of the racketeers and the silliness of their schemes for ourselves.Ned Beaumont is the author of 'Everything's a Racket' with ISBN 9781559502221 and ISBN 1559502223.
