Think you know everything there is to know about the wild world of the stock market?
Think again with Dr. Mahmood Y Abdulla's informative new history, The Ailing Capitalism.
Stock market crashes have been around since the Great Depression of the 1930s. Whether it traverses continents, like the meltdown of 1987, or situates itself in one place, like the collapse of the United States' property market in 2007, these crashes can be devastating-not only to the investor but to the economy at large.
Abdulla who spent thirty five years in the profession of accountancy as the Fellow member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants in London, expertly tracks and explains the cyclical nature of these phenomena while placing the blame for these events squarely where it belongs: in the laps of the speculators and swindlers who threaten the livelihoods of small and private investors because of their greed.
Comparing the modern investment and financial world to that of a high-stakes casino, Abdulla explores the more ethical aspects of investment as a way to get ahead.
Learn how to protect yourself from fraud in the world of investment with Abdulla's refreshingly straightforward advice.
