Most Important Book I Have Ever Read!!!:
I have read hundreds of books throughout my 33 years of life and none come close to this book. This book is both frightening and enlightening. It also goes to show that you really never learn in public school or college what you really need to know. I can't speak for the other readers but I plan doing whatever I can to slow down this oppressive beast controlling the well being of all U.S. citizens. Do yourself a favor. Get this book and get the education of a lifetime. This is not just a book about the... more info
Moronic garbage:

Robert Kyiosaki said we must read this book:
I loved reading this book, although it is quite a thick read it was very easy and flowing, the information was unbelieveable, the banks and goverments of the world have us sown up bad and we need to take action against it, the author presented factual information in a way that is simple to understand a topic like this can be very complicated but the read is easy to understand, I read this book because Robert Kyiosaki said too, and when he recommends anything I listen, a must read for everyone.
awesome book:
this book is great. It shows how bad our banks, monetary system and foreign affairs are all intertwined. It is a great starting point for history and our monetary policy. Now you can see why we have a perpetual rate of inflation and why are savings are eroded to a point of worthlessness by the time we retire. If more people read this book, they will demand a return to the gold standard.
