Gotcha Capitalism by Bob Sullivan (2007, Paperback)

Rather a disappointment - lots of good information but no REAL information on how to avoid it or what to do about it when it happens. I thought it was going to be lots more helpful than it was.

Good stuff to know. Thanks! This is a must read. Written in easy to follow style yet packed with valuable information we can all use.

I will use it as my bible to refer to from here on.

Sullivan shows how the consumer is getting taken advantage of by banks, credit cards, cell phone corporations, you name it. The book should be required reading for high school seniors. The book should be required reading for everyone.

Gotcha Capitalism explains the corporate unethical but generally legal methods of cheating and chiseling customers. It identifies all of the dirty tricks designed to strip the consumer's wallet in many markets such as credit cards, banking, utilities, etc. It is worth a read to learn how to protect yourself and how to complain to government representatives to change these unsavory practices.
