Ben Carlson on financial scams and frauds

Ben Carlson is a Director of Institutional Asset Management at Ritholtz Wealth Management and the person behind the fantastic blog, A Wealth of Common Sense. Ben has recently released a book called 'Don't Fall for it'. The cover of the book describes it as a short history of financial scams, but it's really much more than that. In this podcast episode we discuss some of the fascinating anecdotes of succesful scams over history, but we also discuss the psychology behind why scams can be so successful on their targets. Show notes for the episode are available on the Six Park website.
