In the space of three years, from 2009 to 2012 Bernie Madoff, Tom Petters and R. Allen Stanford were all convicted for running multi-billion dollar Ponzi schemes. These three schemes alone have had the largest financial take in U.S. history. But what role does the economy and legislation play in the occurrences of Ponzi schemes? What is the nature of Ponzi schemes and what are their tools and mechanisms? What can we know about Ponzi perpetrators? Unraveling the answers to these questions (and many more), Marie Springer provides the first representative portrait of Ponzi schemes, their perpetrators, and their victims. Adopting a multidisciplinary approach, she begins by presenting an overview of different types of Ponzi schemes. She later explores perpetrators and victims of Ponzi schemes followed by a close examination of economic trends, regulatory changes, and the financial relationship with Ponzi schemes. Other key features include: * A non-technical overview of both offender based and offense-based approaches of studying this form of fraud. * Examples of Ponzi schemes and Ponzi schemers. * A wealth of descriptive statistics on known federal cases from the 1960s until the present to quantify this specific form of fraud. Broadening our understanding of Ponzi schemes as a form of white-collar crime, The Politics of Ponzi Schemes provides an excellent foundation for students and practitioners of public administration, banking, as well as investors, finance and accounting, law enforcement officers, legislators and regulators.

Marie Springer (1826 - 1907) schildert in ihren Erinnerungen das Leben an der Seite ihres Mannes von der Grundung des Unternehmens in der Berliner Breiten Strasse im Jahre 1842 bis zum Tod von Julius Springer 1877. Berichtet wird vom aufmupfigen jungen Buchhandler, der gegen die Pressgesetze revoltiert und deshalb zu drei Monaten Festungshaft verurteilt wird, vom Burger, der wahrend der 48er Revolution Abgeordneter im Berliner Stadtrat ist. Wir erfahren Details aus dem Leben eines Buchhandlers, der sein Sortiment zur Blute bringt und in zaher Arbeit einen beachteten Verlag aufbaut. Das Leben in der Familie ist lebhaft, der Kreis buchhandlerischer Kollegen und liberaler Parteifreunde gross. Neben dem Aufbau eines vielseitigen Verlags bleibt Springer stets auch die Zeit fur ausgedehnte Urlaubsreisen in die Schweiz und zu Aufenthalten in den Kurorten Mitteldeutschlands. Hohepunkte dieses aktiv gefuhrten Lebens sind die Jahre im Berliner Stadtrat (1867 - 1877), zuletzt als Stellvertreter des Vorstehers, und die zweimalige Amtszeit als Erster Vorsteher des Borsenvereins der deutschen Buchhandler (1867 - 1873). - Ausfuhrliche Anmerkungen und ein Personenregister erschliessen dieses sehr personliche Lebensdokument. Zum ersten Mal wird ein Brief Springers mit einem ausfuhrlichen Bericht uber seinen Besuch bei Jeremias Gotthelf abgedruckt. Diese Lebensskizze wurde ediert aus dem Anlass des 65. Geburtstags von Konrad F. Springer, einem Urenkel des Verlagsgrunders.
