What is Gotcha Capitalism? Coughing up $4 fees for ATM transactions. Iron-clad cell phone contracts you can’t get out of with a crowbar. Paying big bucks for insurance you don’t need on a rental car or forking over $20 a day for supposedly “free” wireless internet. Every day we use banks, cell phones, and credit cards. Every day we book hotels and airline tickets. And every day we get ripped off. How? Here are just a few examples of how big business can get you: • You didn’t fill up the rental car with gas? Gotcha! Gas costs $7 a gallon here. • Your bank balance fell to $999.99 for one day? Gotcha! That’ll be $12. • You miss one payment on that 18-month same-as-cash loan? Gotcha! That’ll be $512 extra. • You’re one day late on that electric bill? Gotcha! All your credit cards now have a 29.99% interest rate. But not for much longer. In Gotcha Capitalism, MSNBC.com’s “Red Tape Chronicles” columnist Bob Sullivan exposes the ways we’re all cheated by big business, and teaches us how to get our money back–proven strategies that can help you save more than $1,000 a year. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Book Description
We all know one- the know-it-all who has all the answers. No matter what the topic-movies, sports, art, history, food-this person always seems to know the right fact or figure, the date of an event, or who said what. Think of how much fun it would be to casually drop a fake fact into the conversation and, as Mr. Know-It-All nods his head in recognition, then to yell... 'GOTCHA!' That's the idea behind GOTCHA!, a cool new spin on the trivia quiz sensation. Written by Julian Biddle, a trivia expert and a self admitted know-it-all, this collection of 400 questions will have readers scratching their heads trying to figure out what's real and what's not.
