My colleague Ben Carlson has a new book out about the history of financial fraud and what lessons investors can take away from that in modern times.

Ben is the director of institutional asset management at Ritholtz Wealth Management, you can get in touch with him about your foundation, endowment or corporate retirement fund here.
