You'll find hundreds of entertaining accounts of financial misadventure in "1001 Ridiculous Ways To Lose a Fortune" - the greatest collection of funny, crazy and mind-boggling stories of financial loss ever assembled. The trader who went on holiday with a stock trade open, and came back to discover he'd lost a fortune; the fat-cat director who ruined himself and his huge firm by cracking the wrong joke; the ill-fated holder of the world's greatest casino loss playing baccarat - they're all here in this hilarious new book. "1001 Ridiculous Ways To Lose a Fortune" is nothing less than a fascinating investigation into the darkly humorous nether regions that our society is built on and is especially relevant given the global recession that shows no sign of easing up.
