What the Rich Teach Their Kids about Money - That the Poor and the Middle Class Do Not

C.P.A. Sharon L. Lechter

Robert Kiyosaki

The book tells the story of Robert Kiyosaki's two fathers: his 'poor dad,' a highly educated but fiscally poor man, and his 'rich dad,' the father of his best friend who was a successful entrepreneur. It emphasizes the importance of financial education, distinguishing between assets and liabilities, and building wealth through investing in assets such as real estate and businesses. Kiyosaki argues that a good education and a secure job are not guarantees for financial success and provides practical lessons on how to make money work for you rather than working for money[1][3][5].

The creature from Jekyll Island

G. Edward Griffin

This book delves into the history and operations of the Federal Reserve, exposing what the author believes are its secretive and manipulative practices. Griffin argues that the Federal Reserve, despite its name, is not a government entity but a cartel of bankers who have significant control over the U.S. monetary system. The book details the clandestine meeting on Jekyll Island where the plans for the Federal Reserve were formulated and how this system has led to economic instability, wars, and other societal issues. Written in an accessible style, the book aims to educate readers about the inner workings of the financial system and the potential dangers of fiat currency and central banking[1][4][5].
