Everyone agrees Madoff was running a Ponzi scheme. He even admitted it himself in a court of law. There was never any investment plan - just a lot of hoopla that encouraged people to buy in. Why should we doubt this story? Because the people who bought in were multi-billion dollar institutional managers who could detect a Ponzi scheme with their eyes closed. So who profited from the fiction that it was a Ponzi scheme?

"The book is very well written...very important in this individualized capitalistic illusory world that enslaves us all within its tentacles and forces us to believe that we are atomized and disconnected beings. Indigenous Lakota people end prayers with "Mitakuye Oyasin...all my relations..." An ancient African proverb states, "A person is a person only because of and with others..." This instructive text is very useful for us living in what we are always told is the modern world, because it reconnects us all and reminds us that ultimately, the endless circle of the Universe binds and connects us all and the Earth is Mother to us with no hierarchy...the ones at the bottom matter the most...like the ants who build mounds and hills, all working in unison and harmony...the book teaches that we were created for community and our destiny is organic community...anything else is doomed..."

Julian Kunnie, Professor of Religious Studies/Classics at the University of Arizona and author of The Cost of Globalization: Dangers to the Earth and Its People
