Publisher Description
In this sharp, funny and empowering guide, journalist Chris Kohler takes you through the rigged carnival of modern life, where the games are broken, the prizes are fake and somehow you're paying $28 to park near the entrance.
From loyalty schemes to late fees, gift cards to sneaky supermarkets, How They Get You pulls back the curtain on how the systems work and how to outsmart them. Written for anyone who has ever looked at their bank account and thought, I swear I didn't buy anything, this is the ultimate handbook to understanding how the game is played - and how you don't have to lose every single time.
You'll laugh, you'll groan and you'll probably cancel a few subscriptions. But most of all, you'll walk away with the clarity and confidence to make better choices about how to spend and save your hard-earned money.
Customer Reviews
Engaging, helpful and fascinating
For most Australians (concepts and topics are still very relevant internationally) a lot of the book will be things you already know or partially know about but the breakdown of why those things are the way they are and how the came to be is fascinating. I found it informative, digestible, interesting and inspiring.
