Examining the consequences of greed in today's society Fear and greed are among the strongest motivators. They influence all our decisions. Every day, we see the lives of the fabulous and famous in the press, on TV, and on social media, and we envy them for their luxurious lifestyle. We want it all too! Games of Greed reveals how some of these people let greed get the better of them. This book connects the dots between the Panama Papers, Bernie Madoff, famous rough traders, and con artists like Nick Leeson, Jérôme Kerviel, Billy McFarland, and Jordan Belfort, the real Wolf of Wall Street. It reveals the excesses of Main Street and Wall Street and Silicon Valley, and even loafing Las Vegas—art heists, stock markets, bitcoins, and festival fraud. In this insightful book, Torsten Dennin demonstrates the pitfalls of greed through many examples of people who, like Icarus, flew too high and fell with catastrophic consequences. In the current day and age of increasing financial tensions and fewer planetary resources, his analysis of greed is both relevant and timely.

Winning means fame and fortune. Losing means her mother's certain death...The Games of Greed have begun. In a time when the deadly silver sickness plagued the earth, the Honorable Governor Wade Johnson of Mississippi issued a stay at home order. For entertainment of the masses, he selected junior high and high school students to attend the Governor's Underground School that was housed in an underground resort casino. They were required to compete and gambling bets were placed on who would win. Sixteen year old Sara Freeman lived alone with her mother after her father died from silver sickness while he was developing the vaccine for it. Governor Johnson likes the money he earns from gambling, but mostly he wants the vaccine to sell for millions.

In a move to disrupt our materialistic society and shed light on the consequences of pervasive greed, reclusive billionaire Victor Emanuel Jovis launches a free online game of chance that sparks a frenzy of worldwide participation. No Purchase Necessary irresistibly entices gamers with its triple appeal-no cost to play, the allure of speculative gains, and a staggering prize for one fortunate winner. As the game takes on a life of its own with a relentlessly spreading popularity, more than a billion players invest countless hours chasing financial rewards, ultimately plunging the global economy into chaos. Sebastian Sinclair, a brilliant mathematician with a unique visual synesthetic perception, leads a peculiar existence informed by pure mathematics and his abiding love for Charlotte. Their bond and his entrancing universe of numbers hold powerful sway over him, affording little room for additional interests and pursuits. While he remains oblivious to the game, the storm unleashed by Jovis wreaks havoc worldwide. But when tragic events upend Sebastian's life and thrust him into uncharted territory, he can no longer ignore the devastating impact Jovis's innocent-sounding game has on the world. Ensnared by the crosscurrents of Jovis's malevolent design, Sebastian witnesses grim instances of street violence, police corruption, and murder. He grapples with hopelessness and despair in his darkest moments, yearning for redemption while channeling his math prowess toward a higher purpose. Will his skills be sufficient to bring the apparently unstoppable game to a close? In this two-volume series embark on a journey alongside Sebastian as he navigates a landscape where unchecked desires clash and the boundaries of morality blur. Immerse yourself in a narrative infused with reflections on art, history, and mathematics. Experience the fusion of storytelling with thought-provoking themes as you contemplate the pitfalls of rampant materialism.

Every four years, the Olympics are celebrated with a flood of congratulatory coverage. In all the books, articles and documentaries extolling the beauty and purity of the Olympic Ideal, only cursory notice is given to the Lausanne-based International Olympic Committee (I.O.C.) and its little known President, Juan Antonio Samaranch. "Dishonored Games" explodes the carefully cultivated image and idealistic hype behind the I.O.C. and its self-perpetuating leadership. The book reveals influence peddling, lavish gifts and bribes, and abuse of power in the Olympic movement.

"Stadium Games begins with the events leading to the arrival of the Twins and Vikings to the state in 1961 and traces subsequent controversies about professional sports in the region up to the present. Weiner discusses the factors that make Minnesota the poster child for the nation's stadium debates - the recent departure of the North Stars hockey team, the near departure of the Timberwolves, the strong opposition of taxpayers, and the apparent greed of team owners. Stadium Games reveals the behind-the-scenes deals and inside scoop on what went wrong in the recent unsuccessful campaign for a new ballpark, divulging how public relations experts failed and how government leaders conspired to fake out Minnesota's citizens."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Early in the new millennium the investment banks were on their knees. Beaten by the boom and bust of the dot.com bubble, mixed up in corporate scandals and accused of uncontrolled and rampant conflict of interest, the game seemed over for the masters of the universe. Then the bounce back came. New rules, promises to be more vigilant and rising markets took the heat off. Having learned their lesson and paid their dues, the investment banks could be relied upon to oil the wheels of capitalism in this best of all possible worlds. Philip Augar's cutting critique challenges this consensus. By being able to act simultaneously for buyers, sellers and themselves, they can generate huge returns at their customers' expense. This book explains how this systematic and legal transfer of wealth occurs and answers some important questions. Do the investment banks add value through their advice? Is there a cartel? Are there any alternatives? What will happen next?
