The author was convicted by the Government...........2005-02-03

Don't waste your money.

The author is a sham artist. He was convicted, and in a plea bargain handed over his entire client list to the US Governtment. None of the advice in this book is legal or legitimate.

Schneider has been indicted.......2003-05-29

In Dec. 2002, a San Francisco federal grand jury indicted Schneider (along with Eric Witmeyer) for conspiracy to defraud the US government. According to the indictment (which is on the web), undercover operatives of the IRS criminal investigations unit posed as US taxpayers interested in acquiring an offshore bank or corporation from Schneider and having it decontrolled by California attorney Witmeyer. Here "decontrol" means concealing the foreign business entity from the IRS. In short, the author has been indicted for conspiracy to commit tax fraud. Of course, the accused are innocent until proven guilty, but this indictment provides notice that the content of this book is suspect. Don't do the things they recommend, you could get into a pack of trouble. Evidently, the Schneider is in a pack of trouble. Transfers of funds to foreign accounts are especially dangerous with the recent passage of the patriot act. Some of the other advice in this book is downright silly. Assuming you're not a terrorist, why would anyone carry large sums of money while traveling when you can use an ATM card? This book is not only worthless, it's dangerous.

An excellent text but be warned, the sage advise in this book is so effective I am now homeless and penniless.
The authors should write volume II "How to find your hidden money"

Don't waste money on this stupid book.......2001-11-20

I bought this book seeking insight in asset protection; however, I leaned nothing useful from this book.

The book is full of "interesting" episodes sourrounding author's clients, with most cases involving cheating on their spouse without leaving behind a paper trail.

The entire book is a "soap opera" written by the co-author who would be a good candidate for writing "Cosmopolitan" artilces but not a serious book about personal finance.

If you want to know how to support your lover without your wife discovering, or if you are a high profile career woman who is about to be engaged with a macho truck driver, then you may find some information in this book interesting, just so you can feel consolation in knowing that you are not the only one who is facing this problem.

If you really want to "know about keeping your money and valuables safe from predators and greedy creditors", as stated in the book's subtitle, this book will disappoint you, and let me warn you that you don't even want to come close to this book.

"How to be invisible" by J.J. Luna was far more interesting and informative.

Insightful information.......2001-09-02

Excellent book if you need to know how to protect your identity, assets and any other valuable items that are in your possession. The book mentions that "almost everyone has something to conceal", and I am a firm believer in that. Whether you've got assets or just a hard working middle class person, we all have our identities.

The author also mentions how to legally move your assets and protect yourself from creditors or others who would want to know if you have anything of value to take. Timing is of utmost importance when performing such tasks. Moving your assets when there is a pending lawsuit, is fraud. But moving and planning well before any type of litigation is started, is perfectly legal and wise.

What I like about the book the best is that, the author doesn't hold any punches back. Although he mentions certain aspects of hiding is illegal, he still mentions tactics that you must do to keep it a secret. These tactics become invaluable, if you are on the other "side of the fence" looking for hidden assets! What I didn't really care for, is the amount of attention that the author gave to hiding money "around the house" if you may.

Although I believe this is just as important as using more sophisticated techniques, I felt they devoted a little too much time talking about hiding your money in shower post or under a rock.

Other than that, the book was really a good foundation on "hiding your money".

Book Description

The 1999 WTO conference in Seattle has shown that the future legal framework of international economic governance must also deal with issues not primarily economic: Human rights, labour-, development-, and environmental-issues and the claim for more transparency began to affect the legitimacy of international economic law to a great extent. The volume is an attempt to take stock of these new challenges for international economic law. At the same time it documents ECSA Austria's conference of December, 2001, where international experts have discussed the new tasks as well as possible developments of international economic law.

Book Description

“A firsthand confrontation with the inner fears and the outer realities of [German Jews] as they themselves reflect post-Shoah history and experience. This is not merely lived ‘history,’ it is ‘history’ with a living face.”—Sander L. Gilman

This absorbing book of interviews takes one to the heart of modern German Jewish history. Of the eleven German Jews interviewed, four are from West Berlin, and seven are from East Berlin. The interviews provide an exceptionally varied and intimate portrait of Jewish experience in twentieth-century Germany. There are first-hand accounts of the Weimar Republic, the Nazi era, the Holocaust, and the divided Germany of the Cold War era. There are also vivid descriptions of the new united Germany, with its alarming resurgence of xenophobia and anti-Semitism.

Some of the men and women interviewed affirm their dual German and Jewish identities with vigor. There is the West Berliner, for instance, who proclaims, “I am a German Jew. I want to live here.” Others describe the impossibility of being both German and Jewish: “I don’t have anything in common with the whole German people.” Many confess to profound ambivalence, such as the East Berliner who feels that he is neither a native nor a foreigner in Germany: “If someone asks me, ‘Who are you?’ then I can only say, ‘I am a fish out of water.’”

Uncertain, angry, resolute, anguished—the diverse testimonies of these people provide startling evidence that “the history of German Jews is not over.”

Book Description

In The Ethical Primate, renowned philosopher Mary Midgley tackles important questions about human freedom and morality. Scientists and philosophers have found it difficult to understand how each human being can be both a living part of the natural world and, at the same time, a genuinely free agent. Midgley explores their responses to this seeming paradox and argues that our evolutionary origin, properly understood, explains why human freedom and morality have come about.

Midgley shows that the unrealistic isolation of mind from body in reductive scientific ideologies still causes us confusion. Such ideologies posit a separate human will which exists outside the natural world. But such a crude picture ignores the manifest importance of the higher human faculties and fails to provide room for any realistic notion of the self.

Midgley attempts to make it easier for us to acknowledge an evolutionary origin for our higher faculties. She argues that human morality necessarilyarises out of human freedom: we are uniquely free beings in that we are aware of our conflicting motives; those conflicts and our abilities to resolve them are part of our natural inheritance. Though our selves are in many ways divided, we share the difficult project of wholeness with other organisms. The Ethical Primate raises basic and profound questions about what it means to be human and proposes some provocative new answers.

Ethics and Evolution.......2005-03-09

The purpose of this book is to suggest how the ethical sense of humans is likely to have developed in the course of evolution. Many so-called Darwinians have seen this development as "merely" another mechanism in the struggle for survival. They have argued that morality, properly understood, is nothing other than a more or less enlightened codification of self-interest, a view that had already been put forward by Hobbes and by Bentham. For Herbert Spencer moral feelings that weaken the human species in the struggle for survival were aberrations to be corrected: on these grounds he thought that the desire to help the unfit poor should not find a place in a proper system of ethics. Man was part of Nature; Nature was "red in tooth and claw"; and this fierce competition was supposed to make for evolutionary progress. (Social Darwinists never really bothered to study animals, or they would have seen that in the natural world cooperation and interdependence are at least as important as competition). Another Darwinian, like T.H.Huxley, was so appalled by this approach to ethics that he removed ethics from the evolutionary process altogether: Man's moral ends, he said, were not those of the ruthless cosmic process.

Mary Midgley rejects both these reactions to Darwin's work: the Hobbes-Bentham-Spencer view because it is reductionist and Huxley's because it is untenable. The thrust of her book is to show that genuine altruism is as much a product of evolution as are other developments; it is partly rooted in our physical instinctual inheritance, but it is also the result of the special way in which humans are conscious of themselves and can enter imaginatively into the feelings of others.

She develops these ideas in the last third of her book, after having devoted the first two thirds to a comprehensive attack on all reductionist theories of behaviour - that is, theories which purport to explain complex human behaviour in terms of something simpler and fundamental, such a purely physical processes. I have not the space to comment on this part of her powerful arguments here.

In the last third of the book, then, Midgley considers how in evolutionary terms our moral sense might have developed. Her starting point is a hitherto little noticed comment of Darwin's: indeed, most people did not seem to know that he had written anything at all about ethics. Darwin had observed that parent swallows follow one of their instincts in joining migrating flocks while being apparently untroubled by the rival instinct not to desert nestlings who are left behind to die. In this case an instinct which is temporarily very powerful quite blots out one which Midgley describes as "a habitual feeling which is much weaker at any one time, but is stronger in that it is far more persistent and lies deeper in the character." The reason why the swallows evince no hesitation or feeling of conflict between the two courses is that their intellectual power is not highly enough developed. It is, Darwin wrote, "exceedingly likely that any animal whatever, endowed with well-marked social instincts, would inevitably acquire a moral sense or conscience as soon as its intellectual powers had become as well-developed, or anything like as well-developed, as in man." Morality develops when creatures become conscious of the inevitable conflict in their feelings; and in the more highly developed animals the signs of the struggle between opposing impulses are quite clearly observable.

Human thought brings with it a number of characteristics which, if they exist at all in animals, do so to a much weaker degree: humans have a well developed possibility of imaginative empathy with the feelings of other creatures: they become not merely self-conscious but also conscious of others. They care about what others are thinking and feeling, not least about themselves. They understand the consequences of actions. When they have violated what the weaker but deeper feelings tell them, they feel guilt; when they observe others violating them, they become judgmental. They understand the consequences of actions. They want to have some control over their conflicting emotions - not just for mechanically "evolutionary" reasons, but because they value the freedom which may prevent them from being passively swept hither and thither by their instincts like a piece of flotsam on a powerful wave. Having become conscious of their instincts clashing, they want to establish for themselves a system of priorities; and the purpose of a moral code is to establish that system of priorities. The priorities they establish bear some signs of "selfish" evolutionary programming: to put the interests of one's children before those of the needier stranger, for example; but it is the capacity of thought and of feeling (Midgley constantly stresses that theories which set these two in a hierarchical scheme are badly reductionist) which gradually widens the range of creatures towards whom we accept increasing degrees of responsibility.

I am not in a position to pronounce on the validity of the origins of morality as Mary Midgley presents them. I would suspect that reductionist arguments cannot be quite as crass as she suggests, were it not for the devastating quotations she adduces from some of their academic exponents. As usual, she writes extremely well and lucidly. She is totally devoid of philosophical jargon; and almost every page has a memorable phrase or striking image, as well as a fine sweep of reference to which a short review like this cannot do justice. It is a deeply humane and attractive book.

Somewhat misleading title, but great follow-through!.......2004-03-05

In the year or so that I've been acquainted with her work, Mary Midgley has quickly become one of my favorite philosophers (outside of Karl Popper and John Dewey). This here is philosophy for the real world.

As such, she starts with real questions: How does morality fit into the evolutionary schema? Science's answer: game theory and self interest became self-interested cooperation. How does the mind (our first person view) fit into naturalistic accounds of the body? Science's answer: it doesn't, really. The mind is the brain and that first person 'viewpoint' is an illusion propogated by the genes.

If I had to give a brief summation of what Midgley does in this book, I'd say this: she takes on reductionism in all of its scientistic forms. Those who want another evolutionary psychology account of the evolution of morality will not find this book comfortable (that's why the title might be misleading). Rather Midgley comes to pluralistic conclusions that when asked to choose between moral libertarianism and reductionistic fatalism, answers: why not a little of both? Why are scientists so eager to do away with the mind as either an illusion or as merely a 'propogation center' for memes? Answer: because they want a unified physicalist view that can't tolerate anything (like the mind) that doesn't disappear into purely physical terms. But, Midgley asks, does that erase the fact that the mind, despite all the 'explaining away' is still there?

Anyhow, another way this book's title may be misleading is that Midgley's concern lies mostly with the issue of how free our moral agency is. Thus if the reader is looking for a book to answer specific moral questions like: Why do we share? Why do we like doing things for others? Why do we fight? and such, the reader won't find that here. Teh essential questions are: How can we give a non-reductionistic account of the mind in a physical world? and How can any form of freedom be compatible with a world of determinism.

Enjoy.
