Sommario/riassunto: Financial markets use persuasion, propaganda and salesmanship to survive. They smooth over weaknesses and highlight their strengths to seduce us into parting with our money. Investment products wrapped in euphemisms and simplified language hide complexity and unclear risk. This book helps you to understand the real risks involved in investing, make informed decisions and take control of your investments.
