Robert Kiyosaki New Book - Conspiracy of the Rich



Robert Kiyosaki - The author of the #1 bestselling personal finance book all time, "Rich Dad Poor Dad", comes a new book "Conspiracy of the Rich".

Conspiracy of the Rich official date to be available in bookstore starting from 21-September-2009.

Conspiracy of the Rich is an online Interactive Book from Robert Kiyosaki. What does that mean by Interactive Book? In fact, Robert Kiyosaki inviting readers to participate in the writing process.

Conspiracy of the Rich: The 8 New Rules of Money, will be an interactive project in which Kiyosaki will not only offer his written ‘draft’ chapters online, but invite feedback, commentary and questions from readers across the globe via website forums and blogs. Reader feedback will then be incorporated into the book as it is written and released, chapter by chapter, on the Internet. This bold and unique approach will enable the millions of people around the world who have put the Rich Dad principles to work in their lives — as well as those who are challenged by today’s harrowing economic times — to engage directly with Kiyosaki and literally help him shape his new book as it is being written.

“We are living in tumultuous, unsettling and frightening economic times,” said Rick Wolff, Vice President and Executive Editor for Hachette Book Group, publisher of Rich Dad Poor Dad and the 26 books in the Rich Dad series, “and Robert believes that people today, perhaps more than ever before, are hungry for information and financial education. The fact that he is committed to writing and distributing a new book to the world for free is amazing to us, and indicative of his genuine concern for the challenging economic times in which we live. Today, more than ever, the world needs a voice they can trust and someone they can rely on to deliver the cold, hard facts about what is really happening in the world.”

“This is the right book, at the right time, at the right price,” says Robert Kiyosaki, in reference to the free and universal access to this book. “This is not the time for traditional answers. The time for this book is now — and the Web will let us do that.”


In Robert's Words

When I am interviewed for this book, I am often asked the question, “How did I get the idea to do this book?”

Since I was asked so often, I thought I would share it with you. This book began in September 2008. I got the idea for the book as I was in the hospital recovering from open-heart surgery repairing a problem I have had since birth, two leaking valves. The birth defect almost kept me out of military school and flight school, but luckily, the problem was not severe enough to eliminate me from the academy or flying. The problem grew worse over the years and I finally agreed to have the valves repaired, but not replaced. Fortunately, my arteries are clear so the operation was limited to just the heart.


About the Book

Conspiracy of the Rich: The 8 New Rules of Money will share Kiyosaki's view of global economics and explore why people are now finding themselves challenged by these turbulent times. Kiyosaki will not only provide people with solutions to their financial problems, but explain what created today’s economic chaos — and how it can be eased. Conspiracy of the Rich: The 8 New Rules of Money will reveal that what appears to be the worst of times is actually an opportunity in the making, and a chance for people to invest in their financial education.


Read an excerpt from the book:

Back to the Future

Faced with such an overwhelmingly bad economy, President Bush pushed through a landmark bailout plan aimed at saving the economy, saying, “This legislation will safeguard and stabilize America’s financial system and put in place permanent reforms so these problems will never happen again.”

Many people breathed a sigh of relief, thinking, “Finally, the government is going to save us!” The problem is those are not the words of President George W. Bush. Those are the words of his father, George H.W. Bush. In 1989, the first President Bush asked for $66 billion to save the Savings and Loan (S&L) Industry. The $66 billion did not solve the problem. The S&L industry disappeared from sight. On top of that, the estimated $66 billion rescue package eventually cost taxpayers over $150 billion – over twice the amount originally estimated. Where did all that money go?

Like Father Like Son

Twenty years later in September 2008, President W. Bush asked for $700 billion making a similar promise, “We’ll make sure, as time goes on, this doesn’t happen again. In the mean time, we got to solve the problem. And that’s why people sent me to Washington, D.C.”

Just as with the first President Bush, the estimated bailout cost was severely undervalued. By November 2008, the total bailout pledge through various Treasury programs was up to $7 trillion and today is expected to go higher. Where is all this money coming from, where is it going…and to whom?




Robert Kiyosaki Conspiracy Of The Rich Reviews

Is Conspiracy Of The Rich worth for you to read? The answer is all depends on your current feeling. No other person better than you to answer on this. But there are some reviews exists. I'm hoping the reviews will help you to consider pick up the book and keep on learning on your Financial Intelligence from Robert Kiyosaki.



Review #1
First of all, I'm not a Kiyosaki fan...his style of writing just tends to annoy me however, he is one of those authors that is able to effectively communicate with the average person and often has one or two gems that make it worthwhile to read his books. Having said that, this book is a bit different than his others both in terms of content and style. It is primarily compiled from his website which by this point, is both a work in progress as well as a day by day breakdown of the current economic crisis unfolding as history. The book contains comments by readers of the website/blog as well as more traditional insight and commentary by Kiyosaki et al.

As a college instructor as well as business writer, I'm quite familar with authors that "try out" or compose a book from class notes, lectures, journal submissions and articles etc...but few have used an online format as a pure marketing ploy to generate both interest and actual content. I suspect it takes a highly recognized name and a major economic melt-down to pull it off. Sales of this book will certainly determine if it is pure genius or merely a gimmick.

Aside from the collaborative nature of the book, the actual writing retains the same consumer friendly, conversational tone found in former "Rich Dad" books with the very pleasant lack of constant reference to the "dads" which was a personal pet peeve. Personally I found this to be more readable than most and equally interesting.

The author departs from the prior "real estate" emphasis into a much broader investment perspective which includes precious metals and other assets, proper use of debt, information and much more. I was fairly impressed by both the rationale and future trends as well as the very "do-able" information presented. It is obvious the author has taken time to create something within the grasp of average Americans by first providing a framework for safety then moving beyond to creating choices for potentially more rewarding investments. At each step of the way a solid rationale is provided...whether one agrees or disagrees, it is valuable to reflect upon where the author is "coming from" in order to make up your own mind as to the validity of the position or not.

Readers that enjoyed Ron Pauls' recent 'End the Fed" will be delighted by the straight-forward discussion about the status of the government, Fed and more in this recent book. Kiyosaki doesn't mince words this time around and does so in a purely equitable manner that doesn't offend - but is designed to enlighten the reader to the dangers surrounding them at every turn.

More savvy investors may not find a lot new however, those searching for a fresh start or trying to make sense of the current economic crisis and future financial trends in an easy to understand way will truly appreciate this book. There is overlap from prior books but also a surprising amount of newer or revised content that is well worth the time of former readers to review.

Bottom line...a surpringly good book.



Review #2
Considering R. Kiyosaki is a wealthy man from his other books he is really providing a patriotic service to our country. As a student of the banking system and money in general, he does expose the fundamentals of who "prints" our money and to the private organization a large part of our federal taxes feed.

Because of his platform and fame, he really is exposing himself to risk on this one. He's really connecting the dots. I'm sure those in control will not appreciate this being in the mainstream. He clearly states that change isn't coming with Obama (or any President, rep. or dem) and we'll have to be the change. This book operates on this fundamental... in order to break the rules, you have to know them well. You need to know the fallacies of the "old" rules of money before you can apply the "new" rules.

This book will open your eyes to what money really is... shouldn't you know what most of the world goes to work for every day?

Pick this book up while you still can.

Thanks Robert for all of your books. My life has never been the same since reading Rich Dad Poor Dad. He has steered me clear of the "Rat Race" pitfalls most people fall into.



Review #3
I personally met Robert in 1991. I've always considered him a mentor who has good information to share.Although I have not always agreed with him 100 per cent, I think his essential ideas are very sound. I've followed his writing career with interest over the years. I haven't read every one of his books, but I thought Rich Dad, Poor Dad was great, and deserved to be such a huge bestseller.

Those who are fans of Robert's investing techniques will not find a lot of new ideas here for making money. The really important information in this book has more to do with the unholy alliance of the Federal government with the big banking houses --- and how that is impacting our economy now, and in the near term future.

It also takes a critical look at the history of our educational system,examining the WHY of"why don't the schools teach much about managing money?".

This book is a serious eye-opener, and I hope Robert's fame results in a lot of people reading it.



Review #4
This book will scare you straight to wealth - or into total denial. If you want to know WHY you want to become wealthy read it. If you want to know who to blame (look in the mirror) read it. If you are afraid to know the facts - well skip it.

I am buying copies for gifts to everyone I know, and even for some folks I don't know yet!

You have a choice stay a part of the growing POOR or join the wealthy. Either way you will be one of the other whither you like it or not and if you DO nothing you will automatically be POOR.



Review #5
I am familiar with the author's books, but I have never read them. I found this in the bookstore one day and read a few pages. The content was interesting so I bought a copy. There's a lot of good information here for many who are like me, average people. Some concepts from his previous books are also included here, so it may not be new to those who have already read them. But useful for those who are reading a book by Robert Kiyosaki for the first time, like me. Apart from a few redundancies and promo plug ins which may annoy some people. This book is actually good. I highly recommend this.
