That’s sounds like an interesting topic for a book. Is there no terminology yet or is the current terminology inadequate?
Also do you have place to find out about the book ince it is ready?
I am currently reading “The Value of Everything” which is great.
- Biologist123 5y agoI don’t think so! What I’m looking for is a sort of taxonomy of scams. Ponzi sits within that taxonomy but is only one species! I’ll advertise on HN once done. Thanks for your encouraging feedback.
- skybrian 5y agoIt’s not about coming up with a taxonomy but you might get some ideas from this book: Lying for Money: How Legendary Frauds Reveal the Workings of Our World <https://www.amazon.com/Lying-Money-Legendary-Frauds-Workings-ebook/dp/B078WFT5JV https://www.amazon.com/Lying-Money-Legendary-Frauds-Workings...> (Among other things the author specifically criticizes the loose use of “Ponzi Scheme”)
- Biologist123 5y agoThanks for flagging that - I look forward to having a deeper read. What Stronger Cities describe is probably closer to a control fraud.
