In his new book, the anonymous author of TAXTOPIA takes us behind the scenes of his career as an Economist. MONEYMANIA is an illuminating and often hilarious expose of the dubious world of the people whose job is to tell us that the world of money can be predicted with almost scientific accuracy - when the truth is that it fails again and again.

And that from the Greeks onwards, Economics has long been driven by vested interests, reckless predictions and at times a staggering lack of common sense.

With our rogue financial savant as our guide, MONEYMANIA reveals why you've never heard of the third most famous man in America; why your mortgage costs more because of an off the cuff remark made in New Zealand in the 1980s; and that the Age of Austerity may have been due to a simple spreadsheet error.

We find out why the average Brit is richer than the average American; how your salary has very little to do with your intelligence or skill; and that if America had followed Iceland's example they would have put 32,000 bankers in prison.

Answering seemingly simple questions such as 'where does money come from?', 'is finance high?' and 'is anything in Economics true?', the Rebel Accountant strips away the complexities and gives us the lowdown on why everything you thought about the world of Economics is not only wrong, but is has been responsible for some of the greatest fails of all time.

This is MONEYMANIA.
