About this title

Synopsis

Through detailed case studies Ragnar shows you how carpenters, woodcutters, farmers, housecleaners, computer consultants, mechanics, lawyers, vendors, locksmiths and others are cashing in on today's booming economy - and keeping what they earn by not paying taxes. From these undergrounders you'll learn how to locate work, get paid without supplying identifying numbers, prepare a realistic budget, advertise your services or product and finance your project when you can't go to the bank. You'll also learn the pitfalls of working off the books and what you can do to prepare for them.

About the Author

Ragnar's knowledge of a past age has intrigued Paladin readers for almost two decades now. His record 33 books place him among the most popular and prolific of Paladin's authors. Most of his books are still available throughout the Paladin catalog.

Currently, Benson lives as something of a recluse in the mountain wilds of America';s west. He hunts, fishes, and sometimes guides between gathering data for books.

His life of international travel and intrigue, which included work in 62 countries, is in limbo for a time. "I worked mainly with rural, agriculturally based people in all these countries," Benson says. "They also taught me a great many fieldcraft techniques and hunting and gathering skills I could never have acquired as a tourist."

Obviously, many readers share Benson's love of these old-time techniques and values. "I get some of my best ideas from readers who take time to write, " he says. "That's why I personally answer all correspondence. We won't bring back these good old days, but a few of us can continue to live them for a time," Benson includes.
