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 what they need to learn on 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 project in which Kiyosaki has invited feedback, commentary, and questions from readers across the globe. Millions and millions of readers have flocked to the website (www.conspiracyoftherich.com), and some of their comments have made them contributors to the project, and ultimately this audiobook!
In the latest installment of Kiyosaki's Rich Dad series, he opts for an innovative approach with largely diminished returns: struggling with a way to inform average citizens on the current economic crisis, and how to rise above it, Kiyosaki decided to write a book in online installments, seeking the questions and comments of his readers (which are peppered throughout this print version). Though an undeniably effective technique for help readers identify with the material, more professional input would have produced a volume buoyed by more of Kiosaki's lucid explanation, and less bogged down with repetition, poor pacing and a rigid view of government policies. Regurgitating dogma from previous books without fleshing them out, it seems Kiyosaki is less interested in creating a new volume than in teasing his old volumes. Kiyosaki's fans will doubtless buy this and may enjoy it, but readers new to the Rich Dad series will feel obligated to buy his other books for a proper understanding-something of a "conspiracy of the rich" in itself.

After growing up watching the financial lives of his "two dads" (his own father and his best friend's) unfold, Robert T. Kiyosaki turned the lessons he learned into the bestselling Rich Dad, Poor Dad line of personal finance guides. No doubt both dads are proud.

December 07, 2009: Mr. Kiyosaki does a super job explaining the current situation with regards to the US Dollar, debt, and gold. Unfortunately, this is only about 10 percent of the book. It seems like he is attempting to use this book to sell his other books (which are very good) and games. Plus he restates much of what was in his other books.
I had much difficulty with Mr. Kiyosaki repeating himself within this book. I listened to this book on CD and several times I had to check to see that I didn't insert a CD that I had already listened to. I hadn't. How many times does he tells us, "...President Nixon, without authorization from Congress, took us off the gold standard." How many times does he tell us, "... Cashflow 101 is like Monopoly on steriods." And the worse one, how many times does he say, "Kim and I...", Kim and I...", "Kim and I...", "Kim and I..." ENOUGH ALREADY, PLEASE!!!!Besides being irritating, this book has little new that will help the reader. The reader will be much better off buying Mr. Kiyosaki's other books such as Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Cashflow Quadrant, Prophecy, Who Took My Money, and the Real Book of Real Estate.Reader Rating:
