Literally a Blue Cup reviewed The confidence game by Maria Konnikova
Great Read, Quite Dense
4 stars
Like a pound cake of cons, this is a psychology-oriented review of cons and swindles. Very dense with many examples, some of which are a bit hard to keep track of since con-people have various aliases. Generally well-written, focuses on "classic" cons (ponzi schemes, fortune tellers) as opposed to religious cons/cults.
