For all those interested in challenging the power of big finance…

A pirated PDF version of my 2013 book on global finance, financial activism and alternatives to mainstream banks has surfaced http://suitpossum.blogspot.co.uk/2015/02/heretics-guide-global-finance-pdf.html

Part 1 (Exploring) covers the major financial players, concepts and instruments. Part 2 (Jamming) explores innovative forms of financial activism, from undercover immersion in financial institutions to building your own hedge funds of dissent (and yes, Max Keiser’s KarmaBanque is featured). Part 3 (Building) showcases the growing alternative finance movement – including peer-to-peer systems, alternative currencies, and co-operative economies – and shows how you can get involved in building a democratic financial system. Hope it can be useful, and please feel free to distribute far and wide.
