More About This Book

Overview

"Barbarians of Wealth is a breathtaking history of greed from Roman times to the present. Anyone interested in how welath is created and destroyed will find this book facscinating. It also provides practical solutions for profiting from the current barbarian scourge of Wall Street."
—Michael Masterson, New York Times bestselling author of Automatic Wealth; Ready, Fire, Aim; and The Pledge

"We're being robbed of our hard-earned money! You know it, I know...but few of us have the ability to expose it in action. Except Sandy Franks. Her book, Barbarians of Wealth, exposes in detail how politicians and their Wall Street 'friends' stop short of nothing to grab our money and dash our hope. you'll see how every move you've heard about in the media has a calculated motive behind it. The best part? Frank's genius at showing us how to use these 'high crimes and misdemeanors' to actually make a fortune. Fascinating—and profitable. Read Barbarians of Wealth now...before it's too late."
—Mike Ward, Publisher, Money Map Press

"Finally, a book that tells the real story of the barbaric actions by political and economic powerhouses and, in a straightforward, easy-to-understand manner, reveals simple, yet powerful, real-world investment solutions that readers can implement to protect themselves. This is a must-read for any astute investor."
—Erika Nolan, Publisher of The Sovereign Society; coauthor of The Insured Portfolio

"Barbarians of Wealth is by far one of the most interesting tell-all books that provides readers with an in-depth and honest look into the world of politics and Wall Street. Barbarians of Wealth compares the actions of the barbarians of the Dark Ages to what the authors call 'modern-day barbarians'—greedy, self-serving politicians and Wall Street fat cats who are willing to destroy the public's prosperity for their own personal gain. This book shows that the tactics used by modern-day financial barbarians are just as ruthless as that of their counterparts from Attila the Hun to the Mongols. This is an eye-opening book and must-read by every American citizen, rich or poor."
—Bob Compton, CFO, Agora Publishing
