Join nationally recognized multi-media talk show host and award winning producer Patricia Raskin, as she interviews Ben Tarnoff, author of A COUNTERFEITER’S PARADISE: The Wicked Lives and Surprising Adventures of Three Early American Moneymakers. Ben Tarnoff shows how counterfeiting foreshadowed the get-rich-quick culture we see on Wall Street today through the lives of three of our country’s most notorious moneymakers, proving that financial volatility hasn’t been the exception in American history: it’s been the rule. A vivid history that will surely resonate today, A COUNTERFEITER’S PARADISE spins the larger story of America’s financial ups and downs during its infancy and adolescence, tracing its evolution from a patchwork of colonies to a powerful nation with a single currency.
