"Insurance consumers are like old prostitutes. They have been screwed so many times by the insurance companies that they believe it is a way of life. Willard's new book should be of great assistance to those victims who truly want to break the habit."--John E. Gregg, Lawyer, ex-FBI Agent, Author of THE HEALTH INSURANCE RACKET & HOW TO BEAT IT. "You will chuckle knowingly at this humorous account of one of the great scams of American society. With his new book, Willard will recruit many to the need for a national health care program, something similar to Canada's."--Frank Gormlie, Publisher, THE WHOLE DAMN PIE SHOP, San Diego's publication of progressive opinion. "Eminently readable, skillfully put together, & exceedingly well researched. The illustrations punctuate the key points with superb irony; the reference section adds the sheer weight of professional numbers, & the James Gollin chapters afford a wonderful psychological profile of the recruiting rackets & 'warm body' agent. The section by lawyer & ex-FBI agent John Gregg clearly shows why health insurance racketeers must never be allowed to participate in a national healthcare program."--Fred Peters, Educator, San Diego, California. "Not critical of legitimate insurance services...but quite correctly critical of the shady aspects of the industry."--Simon Casady, LaJolla, California, Former publisher, El Cajon Californian.

In 1990, a congressional subcommittee warned of financial knaves and buccaneers in the insurance industry-unlicensed and largely unregulated companies that operate out of countries like Antigua and the Cayman Islands and sell hundreds of millions of dollars in worthless insurance policies to unsuspecting Americans every year. Increasingly, when a fire, car accident, or medical emergency strikes, policyholders suddenly find themselves victims of a global con game as phone calls are not returned and claim settlements fall to materialize, resulting in financial ruin if not physical harm. Global Pirates is a critical investigation of international insurance fraud. Robert Tillman portrays the often surreal world of the burgeoning offshore insurance industry; a world in which sophisticated white-collar criminals operate beyond the reach of government regulators to set up elaborately orchestrated scams that drain illegal profits out of the $3 trillion U.S. insurance market. He also describes how the new global economy allows these scam artists to take advantage of rapidly changing financial markets and the regulatory environments that surround them.

This book spans three centuries of popular entertainment and everyday culture, showcasing both mainstream and submerged channels and voices to examine how once reviled business values gained supremacy and poisoned the American spirit. The office in popular culture is often depicted as a topsy-turvy parallel universe where psychological disorders are legitimized as "managerial styles" and comically depraved bosses torment those who do the actual work. During the 1950s, the Beats chose denim and the open road over gray flannel suits and office jobs, but today their grandchildren—Generation Y—aggressively covet desk jobs. "Greed Is Good" and Other Fables: Office Life in Popular Culture examines how office life is both extolled and lampooned in popular culture. The book tracks how business values ascended to cultural dominance in the United States today, revealing our incessant struggle between financial and spiritual goals in the pursuit of "freedom" and the fulfillment of the American dream. By drawing upon sources as varied as books, newspapers, magazines, television shows, movies, blogs, message boards, documentaries, public speeches, corporate training films, and employee newsletters, the author provides compelling insights into the range of competing values and ideals interwoven throughout office life.
