To pay for hope - what a brilliant idea. Ponzi was first.

Ponzi scheme is a type of a fraudulent investment operation, which promised investors high returns in an incredibly short period of time. It is based on the hope that every man needs and on fear that everyone has.

Since the crisis in the 30's of last century, much has changed though. Fewer and fewer people are fooled directly through hope. It seems that it was necessary to create another source of quick takes. Ponzi scheme can he used on national budgets, care for those, who are “sick” or global climate changes. That you do not know how? It is very simple.

Fear of disease brings hope in the form of vaccinations, fear of the economic crisis brings hope in the form of economic packages, and fear of the ozone hole and global warming brings hope in the form of environmental measures.

For years there have been companies arising, with the so-called “great players” who shall decide on the hope of mankind. However, will they be interested whether we need any vaccinations or any economic packages sent from the above to save something, or whether any ecological measures are really effective?

Poznis´ will always be in our society. The point is whether we can detect them and whether we can stop their boom.

The names of the “great players” may be brought next time.
