Review: Should this book be priced at $45K a copy - The headline was content in the book, suggesting that the book will never be popular and that the authors expect not to make any money from the book. Very interesting book, where it gives you a lesson in human history, one that wasn't taught to me in public school, and how life hasn't really changed much in 2000 years, where we still depend upon certain things. The authors explain the principals of life, which is protection from violence and plunder, and how to protect yourself, or determine if the price of protection is too great, and you should move. It compares ideologies such as our Liberal Welfare Democracy to Communism, and how politics come into play. It goes into the concepts of money and how it works. After your learn all this, it tries to predict the future and suggest how you should be aware of using this information to benefit yourself in the future. I saw this book as an extension to Cash Flow Quadrant, but it is not, for I think Robert Kiyosaki should of read this book first before writing Cash Flow Quadrant. At first this book was hard to read, but I got use to the writing style and can now jam through pages with ease. The density of information within the book is very high, small text that covers most of the pages. I'm only 1/2 way through the book, and can't wait to finish it, so I can read my next book. I wish I would have read this book 20 years ago, but I wasn't aware of it's existence. For me, I give this book a 5 star rating, because I can understand the information presented, and actually use it. But you need to be a certain type of person to appreciate this book, for it's not for everyone. This book is meant for one who thinks like a capitalist, someone who is self employed, but an employee would learn a great deal from this book as well, or even one of our politicians in Government. If your looking to take your brain to the next level, figure out why we pay taxes, and understand the concepts of inflation and why our nation state does what it does, then buy this book. Otherwise, pick another book.
Review: A must read - This book is by far one of the best books I have ever read. Extremely insightful.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must read
*by E***A on January 6, 2026*

This book is by far one of the best books I have ever read. Extremely insightful.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazingly Prophetic and Ahead of its Time
*by E***S on November 28, 2021*

I loved the eloquent argument that Governments are formed as a consequence of violence. When the productivity of societies increase, there is a rise in violence. Organisations (like governments or the mafia) form in order to provide protection and civil order - taxation is actually protection-money. The historical references to the medieval era, were very revealing - especially, in terms of highlighting the dogma of the church, at the time. Comparisons to current times, helps explain similar dogma, continually propagated by the mainstream media and celebrities. Although this book was written in the late 1990s; much of the commentary on political corruption, identity politics, social welfare and the decline of industrial nations (economically and morally) rivals the current talking points today, in 2021. Finally, the message that society will be driven by economic and mega political conditions, rather than mainstream narratives; is encouraging to the critical thinker. The most hopeful message is that the Governments of the future will have less power to confiscate the wealth generated by the Information Age. The intangible nature of digital property; the security of cryptography and the global nature of the Information Age, will represent the new mega political conditions of society.
