Ponzinomics by Robert L. FitzPatrick, author of False Profits, is the first comprehensive account of how "multi-level marketing" was created in America, escaped criminal and civil prosecution, and spread all over the world. It is the first book to fully explain how the legitimate business of "direct selling" was turned into pyramid recruiting. Ponzinomics reveals how multi-level marketing helped to lay a foundation on Main Street of pervasive deception, financial self-destruction, authoritarian leader-worship, and economic make-believe.

Ponzinomics 101 is a monthly educational podcast for anyone interested in learning more about multi-level marketing (aka MLMs), and why it should be avoided. Hosts Melissa Milner and Robert FitzPatrick want this podcast to be a helpful resource for teachers and parents and will provide valuable information that is not currently being taught in our public schools, colleges, and universities about MLMs and similar dangerous schemes.
