Conspiracy of the rich

I had just finished reading the book “Rich Dad’s Conspiracy of The Rich“, written by Robert Kiyosaki.
Robert writes about, among other things, the founding of the Federal Reserve (which was under a high level of secrecy) and the fiat monetary system. Until today the Federal Reserve continues to operate in a highly secretive manner.
What caught my attention is Robert’s contention that the public school system is designed by the rich for their own benefits.
According to Robert, the public school system trains people to be employees and self-employed rather than to be entrepreneurs and investors. In other words, financial education has been deliberately left out of the school system and we are being brainwashed and conditioned to “submissively surrender our hard-earned money” to the rich.
I do not know whether the school system is indeed part of the “conspiracy of the rich” but I have to agree with the author that it is strange that the subject of “money” or financial literacy is not being taught in school.
Many years ago I read Robert’s best-selling book “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” and it helped me look at the world from the perspective of the rich. I began to see the world in a different light and it stirred in my heart a desire to be financially free.
Since then I had read dozens of books on economics, personal finance and investing. The more I learn, the more I find it unbelievable that the public schools do not teach financial literacy. Like Robert, I believe that financial management should be made a compulsory subject to be taught in every school.
Robert highly recommends the book “Grunch of Giants” but I’m unable to find it in the local bookstores. Amazon doesn’t deliver the book to Singapore either.
If you have any idea where I can buy the book please leave a comment and let me know. Thank you! :)
