ЭКОНОМИКА ОБМАНА: Деньги, данные, долги, статистика и власть: как система манипулирует современным гражданином и как вернуть контроль

The Economy of Deception is a clear, critical, and practical guide to understanding how the modern citizen is influenced, pressured, and manipulated through money, debt, inflation, statistics, banking, government policy, corporate incentives, digital platforms, algorithms, media narratives, and human cognitive biases. This book is not built on conspiracy thinking. It starts from a more uncomfortable and realistic idea: a system does not need perfect coordination to harm the average citizen. It only needs institutions, companies, banks, platforms, political actors, and media organizations to follow their own incentives while individuals remain busy, indebted, distracted, misinformed, and emotionally overloaded. Across its chapters, the book explains how modern money really works, why inflation can act as a silent tax, how debt reduces personal freedom, why many statistics can be technically true but morally misleading, and how consumer behavior, voting decisions, employment choices, credit systems, and digital habits are shaped by forces most people rarely see clearly. It also explores some of the defining issues of the coming years: central bank digital currencies, the digital euro, the decline of cash, programmable money, AI-driven personalized pricing, financial surveillance, algorithmic reputation, data extraction, platform dependency, political messaging, economic regulation, and possible scenarios between 2026 and 2040. But The Economy of Deception is not a manual for paranoia. It is a manual for lucidity. Its purpose is to help readers read economic news with method, detect unrealistic political promises, interpret charts and statistics, evaluate financial products, avoid manipulative consumption traps, reduce dependence, protect personal data, improve financial decisions, and build real room for maneuver in an increasingly complex world. For readers who suspect that something in the modern economy does not quite add up, but want to understand it without slogans, tribalism, rumors, or false certainty, this book offers a rigorous and practical map. A handbook of economic, statistical, digital, and mental self-defense for citizens who refuse to be easy to manipulate.
