“Business is business”– what does this expression, which many people use to justify betraying their business partners, really mean? That there are a certain number of people jostling in a certain space who hate each other and don’t understand that they have to somehow live together and find a consensus because they depend on each other?
Today there is a certain unspoken paradigm that business is a game. The book “Mystery or Crime: Real Life and Economics”[1] written by Dr. Oleg Maltsev is the only one of its kind. The purpose of this book is to penetrate the mystery of economics and show the true face of the business world, behind the mask of PR. The way people play the supposed game of business is not by playing by the rules. And it’s not just about not talking out loud about the mysterious economic environment. First of all, this is a book about people — those who in history have arrogated to themselves the right to create the rules of the business game. Once the game is established, it does not matter whether people are pawns or queens; everyone is captured in the same nonexistent chessboard, on which the logic of the average man is defective by definition, and the reward of a beautiful life beckons people to keep playing.
“The basis of this world is self-deception. It is a circle from which there is no way out. Three factors contribute to this: global misinformation from birth, the media and other writers, and the most important factor is time. The totality of these three elements “drives” the person into a disinformation circle from which there is no way out. And professionals of their craft do not go to misinform us ‘today’ — they go to ‘yesterday’ and ‘the day before yesterday’: to history,” — Oleg Maltsev. [2]
This book is about what real business, real economics, and real life are all about, unadorned. Without the flimsy, specialized terms, without trying to give a revolutionary veneer to what is already written and said by someone else. They say that business is a game. This book is not about how to play by the rules, and it is not just about not talking out loud about the mysterious economic environment. First and foremost, this book is about those in history who have arrogated to themselves the right to create whatever rules they want, and it answers the question “why are things the way they are in our lives.”[3]
