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

Just as the name suggests, this book is ‘Fake’ with lots of repetition and hardly any useful content. Most of it is filled with promotion of his other books and other revenue streams.

Great is you have amnesia or a short attention span. There are some things that one can agree with, and some very fundamentally (like education being off beam, and the folly of current systems), but it has to be the most repetitive and self indulgent pile of plap that I've ever read. He doesn't understand what socialism is. He flew a helicopter for a bit a long time ago and says a lot about that. Lots of people have been in the army and lots went to Vietnam too. Not all have fond stories or are proud of it. Basically, he's saying precious metals are his hedge against a currency value implosion. He still thinks there's money in houses... and he lectures in the UK - where there's none. He will tell you about Nixon and the Gold standard about 500 times. Some of the thinking about economics are definitely in the red zone. He likes Trump (aaaaahem!). He says gold is "Gods money". This overlooks what money actually is. Gold in a vault in Singapore or Wales isn't going to be any more use than paper dollars if there's a crash. His work on mindset is useful, but he could express all the useful part of this book in a 20 page pamphlet. Its a pity, this could have been a good book. Rushed authoring. Weak content. Repetitive. Unimaginative. A pity. A 'cruiser's' effort.

Some interesting concepts about how easily money can be printed by IMF, Central Banks to inflate asset prices and make cash in hand lose its power significantly overtime. However, that said there is simply a reckless amount of repetition in this book to fill pages. How can a book with an abundance of repetition be edited and published? How can this be allowed!

Over 400 pages,the same messages could have fit into 200 pages,Mr Kiyosaki constantly repeats himself word for word,repeatedly uses the same illustrations and graphs throughout the book.Not in the same league as Rich dad,Poor dad that's for sure.

Boring rubbish

Had high expectations but was let down.
