Is there any book which describes all the evil practices used in past by companies/individuals.


Evil? Who am I to cast such a stone? But the recent PBS American Experience episode on The Gilded Age. Demonstrates the scale at which J. P. Morgan backed the full faith and credit of the US Government.

I just got Dark Money and reading through it. It is very revealing.

In which field? You have to realize there are tons of dirty or underhanded practices across every industry. Chronicling each of them is neigh impossible. So pick an industry and you will find yourself swamped with suggestions.


Not a book, but you might like Dirty Money series on Netflix.


There sure is: Capital by Karl Marx.

(wonder if down-voters have actually read this, or if it's just a boogie-man to them?)


It’s just not a very good answer to the question.
