For centuries, the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition have guided generations of traders, merchants, and opportunists across the Star Trek universe, shaping interstellar commerce from Deep Space Nine to the far reaches of the Delta Quadrant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom Rule #1, “Once you have their money, never give it back,” to Rule #21, “Never place friendship before profit,” these 285 rules reveal the darkly comic philosophy behind Ferengi success. Equal parts satire and world-building, the Rules of Acquisition offer insight into Ferengi culture, ethics, and economics—where greed is a virtue and altruism is bad business.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mb-1 mt-2 whitespace-pre-line leading-relaxed first:mt-0\" data-sentry-component=\"P\" data-sentry-source-file=\"p.tsx\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/strong\u003e • Author: Ira Steven Behr • Publisher: Star Trek • Format: Paperback\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePacked with sharp humor and unmistakable Star Trek flavor, this collection is essential reading for fans of Deep Space Nine, Ferengi lore, and readers of science fiction satire.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cedar Leaf Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45473406222380,"sku":"9780671529369","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0697\/2234\/1420\/files\/9780671529369.jpg?v=1776796226","url":"https:\/\/cedarleafbooks.com\/products\/the-star-trek-deep-space-nine-the-ferengi-rules-of-acquisition","provider":"Cedar Leaf Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
