A Cult Expose

I'm most of the way through this very enlightening book about the multi-level-marketing and pyramid scheme sub-culture. Basically, it's an expose of this neighborhood of get-rich-quick cults complete with a single page take-down of the mathematical absurdity of its economic model, as well as the psychology and character of victims. Being that the authors were former adherents themselves, they confess in great detail their journey from normal people to addicts in a universe of "winners" and "losers." Families and friends become mere dupes to be used to enrich the MLM member and propel them into the"winner" category. The inevitable wreckage of broken relationships, lost jobs, and depleted bank accounts leaves the addict, incredibly, craving more of the same, chasing the dragon of that one last best scheme that will actually transform them into a wealthy "winner" - at the expense of everyone else.
