Product Description

In late January 2009, Robert Kiyosaki launched Conspiracy of the Rich - a free online book which was written in serial basis to help people understand how the current recession came about and learn how to survive through the coming rough years. An unprecedented publishing event for Kiyosaki and The Rich Dad Company, CONSPIRACY OF THE RICH is an interactive, 'Wiki-style' project in which Kiyosaki has invited feedback, commentary and questions from readers across the globe. The response so far has been totally fantastic. Millions of readers have flocked to the website (www.conspiracyoftherich.com) to read what Robert has to say about the recession and the readers have posted thousands of comments. Some of those reader comments will be included in the book. And, because Robert has been posting chapters in real-time on a regular basis, he's able to address what's been happening to the economy on a timely and topical basis. His 8 New Rules of Money provides readers real insights on how they can get through these tough times.

Customer Reviews

Solid background knowledge
I have just finished the box set and found it to be thoroughly interesting if at times slightly laboured concerning certain presidents, dates and political acts.
You certainly get good value for money as the collection takes many hours to get through. At lot of historical information is presented about how and why the world's finances are in the state they are in and as I am British the info concerning the US was very interesting.
It is not the worlds most advanced audio book but if you are looking for a few hours to reacquaint yourself with the worlds financial predicament then this is ideal.

Repetition but a good read
This isn't so much a book as a collection of on-line contributions from the author, with the occasional comment from his web site visitors thrown in for good measure.

If you've read RK's other books, you already know what to expect since the style never changes and in this case, neither does the content really.

Rich Dad is now a brand and it's clear that emphasis in this book is yet again to push other products, particularly the games, which are a take on Monopoly, and should have been called Monotony, since they are so long-winded.

The web site is also purposely challenging and every few weeks, theer are yet more invitations to expensive seminars where ever more RD products can be promoted to an eager audience.

There is some interesting stuff in this book though, but I don't think it should all be accepted on face value, as I suspect delving deeper into the history would show holes in the research.

I always enjoy reading these types of books which is why I gave it 4 stars, but if you're looking for balance, look elsewhere.

Much repeated material
Much of previous books is repeated - as is often the case with the Rich Dad series. Also, the exact same words are repeated again and again, so what RD has to say could actually be squeezed into 50 pages. However, a few useful tips
