In his new book, MONEYMANIA , the anonymous author of Taxtopia - the book that blew the lid on the global tax industry - takes us on the next journey of his career, this time as an Economist. Taking us behind the scenes of his various roles in this industry profession, The Rebel Accountant takes us on a revealing, and at times hilarious, tour of the dubious world of people whose job is to tell us that the world of money not only makes sense, but can be predicted with almost scientific accuracy. With this rogue financial savant as our guide, we learn how money, capitalism, banking and markets work - and how and why they often don''t do what they''re supposed to do. We also learn that Economics, which touts itself as a science, is nothing of the sort and at its worst it takes on all the aspects of a collective mania, as it fails to live up to its promises again and again. Answering seemingly simple questions such as ''where does money come from?'', ''what is high finance?'' and ''is anything in Economics true?'', the Rebel Accountant explains Economics from the ground up and gives us the lowdown on why everything you thought about the world of financial analysis and prediction is almost certainly wrong. This is MONEYMANIA .
