This volume focuses on modern economic analyses of deception in markets. The contributors offer a systematic account of how different approaches to modern economics deal with dishonesty and cheating in the marketplace. The particular focus is on economic concepts such as rationality and behaviour in relation to deception. Analyses are presented from the perspective of standard economic frameworks (i.e. game theory, new institutional economics, new classical macroeconomics) while behavioural developments (i.e. behavioural economics and finance) are referred to, challenging the basic economic concepts of rationality and self-interest. Finally, anthropological findings are used to contrast these economic conceptions of deception.

A revealing expose by one of today's most successful andcontroversial speculators Short-selling, or betting on a drop in the price of a stock, hasbeen described by its many opponents as everything from shady todownright evil. And no one today personifies the practice betterthan short-seller extraordinaire Manuel Asensio. Though he has beenbranded in the press as a market saboteur, Asensio staunchlydefends his practices, claiming that, above all, he is out toexpose rampant fraud being perpetrated by unscrupulous stockpromoters. Is Asensio a "Minion of Satan" as they say in the onlinechat rooms, or is he really a misunderstood guardian angel of freemarket capitalism? In this tell-all account, Asensio offers readersa lively narrative, peppered with unforgettable anecdotes such asthe story of why he shorted Diana, General Nutrition, Solv-Ex,Turbodyne, and many other high-profile stocks. And he armsinvestors with proven techniques for reducing the inherent risks ofshort-selling while maximizing returns. Clearly, Asensio invitesboth praise and criticism, but his methodology works, and SoldShort is a compelling and fascinating read about this oftenmysterious side of the market--and one of the most controversialindividuals behind it. Manuel Asensio (New York, NY) is founder and Chairman of Asensio& Co., Inc. He has over twenty years of corporate finance andresearch experience. He has been featured in Business Week, theWall Street Journal, Barron's, Fortune, Forbes, Worth, the New YorkTimes, New York magazine, and the New Republic, among other leadingnational and international publications.

Why the free-market system encourages so much trickery even as it creates so much good Ever since Adam Smith, the central teaching of economics has been that free markets provide us with material well-being, as if by an invisible hand. In Phishing for Phools, Nobel Prize–winning economists George Akerlof and Robert Shiller deliver a fundamental challenge to this insight, arguing that markets harm as well as help us. As long as there is profit to be made, sellers will systematically exploit our psychological weaknesses and our ignorance through manipulation and deception. Rather than being essentially benign and always creating the greater good, markets are inherently filled with tricks and traps and will "phish" us as "phools." Phishing for Phools therefore strikes a radically new direction in economics, based on the intuitive idea that markets both give and take away. Akerlof and Shiller bring this idea to life through dozens of stories that show how phishing affects everyone, in almost every walk of life. We spend our money up to the limit, and then worry about how to pay the next month's bills. The financial system soars, then crashes. We are attracted, more than we know, by advertising. Our political system is distorted by money. We pay too much for gym memberships, cars, houses, and credit cards. Drug companies ingeniously market pharmaceuticals that do us little good, and sometimes are downright dangerous. Phishing for Phools explores the central role of manipulation and deception in fascinating detail in each of these areas and many more. It thereby explains a paradox: why, at a time when we are better off than ever before in history, all too many of us are leading lives of quiet desperation. At the same time, the book tells stories of individuals who have stood against economic trickery—and how it can be reduced through greater knowledge, reform, and regulation.

From the bestselling author of F.I.A.S.C.O., a riveting chronicle of the rise of dangerous financial instruments and the growing crisis in American business One by one, major corporations such as Enron, Global Crossing, and Worldcom imploded all around us, prey to a greed-driven culture and dubious or illegal corporate finance and accounting. In a compelling and disturbing narrative, Frank Partnoy's Infectious Greed brings to bear all of his skills and experience as a securities attorney, financial analyst, law professor, and bestselling author to tell the story of the rise of the trading instruments and corporate financial structures that imperil the economic health of the country. Starting in the mid-1980s with the introduction of the first proto-derivatives, and taking us through such high-profile disasters as Barings Bank and Long Term Capital Management, Partnoy traces a seamless progression to today's dangerous manipulations. He documents how each new level of financial risk and complexity obscured the sickness of the company in question, and required ever more ingenious deceptions. It's an alarming story, but Partnoy offers a clear vision of how we can step back from the precipice.

This is the first scholarly book to fully address the topics of the psychology of deceptive persuasion in the marketplace and consumer self-protection. Deception permeates the American marketplace. Deceptive marketing harms consumers’ health, welfare and financial resources, reduces people’s privacy and self-esteem, and ultimately undermines trust in society. Individual consumers must try to protect themselves from marketers’ misleading communications by acquiring personal marketplace deception-protection skills that go beyond reliance on legal or regulatory protections. Understanding the psychology of deceptive persuasion and consumer self-protection should be a central goal for future consumer behavior research. The authors explore these questions. What makes persuasive communications misleading and deceptive? How do marketing managers decide to prevent or practice deception in planning their campaigns? What skills must consumers acquire to effectively cope with marketers’ deception tactics? What does research tell us about how people detect, neutralize and resist misleading persuasion attempts? What does research suggest about how to teach marketplace deception protection skills to adolescents and adults? Chapters cover theoretical perspectives on deceptive persuasion; different types of deception tactics; how deception-minded marketers think; prior research on how people cope with deceptiveness; the nature of marketplace deception protection skills; how people develop deception protection skills in adolescence and adulthood; prior research on teaching consumers marketplace deception protection skills; and societal issues such as regulatory frontiers, societal trust, and consumer education practices. This unique book is intended for scholars and researchers. It should be essential reading for upper level and graduate courses in consumer behavior, social psychology, communication, and marketing. Marketing practitioners and marketplace regulators will find it stimulating and authoritative, as will social scientists and educators who are concerned with consumer welfare.

Excerpt from Cartel Deception in Nonrenewable Resource Markets But it seems unlikely that such perfect monitoring is possible in the markets for oil and other nonrenewable resources. It appears difficult enough for any one nation accurately to estimate its own reserves, let alone to police the accuracy of others' published estimates. Similarly, it is not obvious that any producer can accurately monitor the sales of all others. It might thus be both possible and profitable for individual producers to lie about their reserves or outputs for some finite period of time. If the market proceeds along the Salant equilibrium price path corresponding to the false data, reserves in the hands of all producers at the end of the deception will generally be different than they would have been had all told the truth. Even if all parties insist on careful monitoring after the lie has been revealed, the shift in reserve positions may make the lie profitable.

How pervasive is deception in the American marketplace? In this pioneering study, Paul Blumberg not only reveals the extent to which fraud is practiced on the American consumer, but offers a penetrating analysis of its causes and social consequences. Among the evidence Blumberg examines are 600 accounts by workers in such businesses as restaurants, gas stations, and drug stores of the fraudulent practices of their employers. Here are eye-opening accounts of gas station owners selling regular gas as high test, auto mechanics who spray-paint old parts and sell them as new, pharmacists who sell generic drugs at brand-name prices, and more. Blumberg suggests that dishonesty is all but built into the American marketplace, and that its social effects include the loss of trust and community.

Where money moves, there moves greed, deception, conflicts of interest, bad practices and corruption as well.In this book we will speak through my testimony and other chapters of how trading, understood as the buying and selling of financial assets in seconds, minutes, hours, days or for a few weeks with a speculative intention in order to make a profit out of the price difference is dangerous, not only because of the inherent risk to this way of operating with the money, but because at all levels in trading and financial markets there are lies, deceptions and conflicts of interest. From the trading educators with IB (Introducing Broker) contracts, to the company managers and their auditing firms, almost every player in this field has a conflict of interest. On the other hand, in the last decade there has been an exponential increase in online courses on fundamental and technical analysis, used as marketing techniques to get new traders into the arena, which are of doubtful effectiveness in making trading decisions, especially technical analysis. We will also analyze the major players that move the markets, high-frequency trading, cases such as the possible Tesla and bitcoin bubbles, fundamental and technical analysis flaws. In addition, we will examine and criticize the trading strategies of the best traders of all time, talking among other topics of the "break" of the Sterling pound on September the 16th 1992, by the macro-operation in short headed by George Soros and his Quantum hedge fund team, subsequently followed by other hedge funds. In short, we will explain the reasons why the 90-90-90 trading rule is fulfilled, which says that 90% of new traders lose 90% of their available capital in 90 days or less.
