Journal Title: Dezbateri social economice - Year 2013, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
The model of pyramid, invented by the ancient Egyptians was used by mankind in different ways, during the time. In our research we try to underline the link between some pyramidal schemes: that means our research has to show a comparative approach of two aspects apparently without any link, but reality shows that there are both resembles, and differences between them. The common element is not only the pyramid shape, but also the financial scope which they are used for. More by token, they are using this lait-motive of pyramid not only for earning huge sum of money, but also without paying taxes on it. Besides these common features, there are also a clear difference between them, i.e. one of these action (the pyramidal games) are not giving any product for the sum of money given by the participants, as the other activity (the MLM used in cosmetics and nutritional supplements industries) uses goods given instead of paying money by the involved people.
