Fake: Fake Money, Fake Teachers, Fake Assets: How Lies Are Making the Poor and Middle Class Poorer

by Robert T. Kiyosaki

Overview

Robert Kiyosaki — author of the #1 Personal Finance book of all time — has built a legacy around simplifying complex and often-confusing subjects like money and investing. He continues to challenge conventional wisdom and asks the questions that will help readers sift through today's information overload to uncover ways to assess what's real… and what isn't. And use truth and facts as a foundation for taking control of their financial lives. In this new book—that will be released, by chapter, online to invite reader feedback and questions that will be included in the print and e-book editions—Robert fights what’s ‘fake’ and helps readers differentiate between what’s real…and what isn’t. Robert pulls no punches in his assessment of what is passed off as ‘fact’ or conventional wisdom and believes that a strong foundation—for anything we want to build—needs to start with solid, true information. In today’s uncertain times, creating a secure financial future and the peace of mind that comes with it starts with taking action and taking control. In FAKE: Fake Money, Fake Teachers, Fake Assets, Robert delivers insights and answers that help ordinary people—who probably haven’t had a lot of financial education—determine what’s ‘real’ and relevant to their financial lives. Every day we are bombarded with news reports and information and opinions… How do we decipher fact from fiction? How do we differentiate between truth and lies? And determine what’s real… from what isn’t? Kiyosaki believes that it starts with education, financial education designed to make us smarter with our money—and able to fight what’s fake and use what isn’t to secure our financial future.

Editorial Reviews

08/05/2019

Financial education guru Kiyosaki (More Important Than Money) shares his beef with accepted financial wisdom, particularly that spread by the “elites who run the world,” in this argumentative work. His underlying premise—that disinformation is widespread in today’s world because of how lucrative it is—is a sound one, and he explores how disinformation plays out in three key areas—namely “fake money,” “fake teachers,” and “fake assets.” He spends a substantial amount of time on the first category, detailing why American currency has been “fake” ever since President Nixon removed the U.S. dollar from the gold standard. While much of his advice, such as to invest in tangible assets such as gold and silver, sounds plausible, Kiyosaki undermines his own credibility at times by his deep suspicion of so many things, including history (”In military school, we are taught that ‘history belongs to the victors’ ”), banks, and conventional education (teachers, he charges “don’t teach about money”). Kiyosaki’s passion is undeniable, but the acerbic tone doesn’t do the work many favors. (Apr.)
