Shell Game: The Story of One Man's Rant Against the Big Banks in an Attempt to Save the World Economy
In the modality of the times, everyone wants to pass the buck and then pass judgment on the other guy; to sit back suffering, complaining and acting like there is nothing to be done. It is so rampant that businesses use this to bilk us out of trillions of dollars. The mighty Roman Empire did not fall because they were defeated in battle. They fell because corruption was rampant and accountability was all but non-existent. We are headed down the same path, Fortunately for us, there are still people like Marc Hoffman who are paying attention and doing what they can to hold others accountable. He is not a hero. He is just a responsible citizen doing what all responsible citizens should do. I found this book charming, witty and inspiring. Let's hope he inspires the next wave of responsible citizens before we begin to write the downfall of the American Empire.

The author reached out to me about reviewing this, and as you all know, I don't usually read non fiction. But the title and premise intrigued me and I'm so glad I chose to review this. It is an extremely well written book and any layman would understand the concepts laid out in the book because he has explained it so beautifully.
Shell Game starts with a background of the writer, who is a Nam veteran. I would like to take a moment to respect his effort and patriotism; both while he was in the Army, and after he left. His manner of writing is so different from most other books I've read. Always the first person present tense, always drawing you in - so that you always want to know more. It spans from 2006-2018 and not once did I feel a single paragraph was unnecessary.
M.K. Hoffman has a keen grasp of macroeconomics and explains each and every concept so lucidly that
