In this special guest episode, Dennis delves into the life of Charles Ponzi, an Italian immigrant who arrived in the United States in the early 1900s with big dreams and a penchant for getting out of sticky situations. From his early days as a road drummer to his later exploits as a financier, Ponzi's story is a wild ride that's full of twists and turns. But it's not just about the scheme itself - it's about the people who were caught up in it, and the lessons we can learn from their experiences.
Join Dennis Prager and his guest, Mitchell Zukoff, as they explore the fascinating story of Charles Ponzi and the Ponzi scheme. From the early days of the scheme to its eventual collapse, this episode is a gripping tale of greed, ambition, and the human condition.
