It is our prayer that people will wake up and realize the value of wisdom in their lives. 'Knowledge is the new money' needs to be posted on the walls of every school. We've enjoyed the journey and this book should be an instant #1 best seller. In our own little way, we've spread the word and started a 'cashflow' group in our community. Unfortunately, too many people do not take their money seriously and don't have the desire to learn. We've even offered to buy 'cashflow 101' games for our local school system and the teachers won't take the time to learn the value that this could have for their students.
Best wishes on the book's publication and hope to attend a RichDad workshop in Scottsdale soon. Meanwhile, growinassets is following you on twitter.
I really enjoyed reading your book online, and have told many friends and family members about it. I especially liked the special features not found in hard copy books, like the video links, the opportunity to make comments and to see what other people were saying about the questions. I have read many of your books in the past, and I think this was the most enjoyable. Plus the delays between chapters gave me time to digest the current chapter more thoroughly.
The Conspiracy of the Rich has done a great job of giving a picture from 100 miles up as well as from 1 mile up. It presents a matrix in which to put all the "happenings" around us. With it I am better able to see (that's vision) how we are effected and how better to affect the lives of my family and friends.
Robert, Thank You
Bill
Succinctly, greed from above is killing the system. Even E and S's lived prosperiously within the nutshell concept of the system. It created trust through habit and protraction. And with trust deception is masked. Debt created that prosperity, but it got out of control with the do good politicians and legislation strenching the limits of it. The IMF and CFR collaboration outsourcing jobs abroad underminded further the demise selling fish. Some form of protectionism is in order to keep a debt driven system moving. Interventionism is the wrench that breaks it down, and impoverishes the system that people believed in--it's just part of the plan.
you are a born star to be celebrated. Your book, has left an indilable mark in my life, by virtue of realizing the significance of one to have a financial education, not mere " subject education" as you said, that school do a good job training people to be Es and Ss,but almost nothing to train them to be Bs or Is.
Today people go to school to learn how to work for money, but learn nothing about to have money work for them, and the worse thing ,goverment create more jobs than creating more entreprenuers.
I thank God of giving you wisdom, financial intelligence, persistance,motivatation, and courage to reveal the conspiracy of the rich.
I,m currently a student doing my Law degree,at Nelson Mandela School of Law,University of Fort Hare, East London Campus, South Africa.
It is a privilege at this age to get hold of your living doctrines concerning finance and business. I am longing, deeply yearning to be your student.

However, the ideas in the first phase can potentially cause a really big outroar, from those rich and poor. But then again, it makes sense. Just like when you said "your house is not your asset", people will stop complaining and do something about their lives.
I live in a country with sky high real estate prices, but with low rental yields. In your example, the 150K house yielded 1.2K rent a month. that is 14.4K a year, which offers a rate ( i think it is called capitalization) nearly 10%. Where I live, a rate of 3% is considered very very good:( Because the mortgage needed on the investment is huge, the interest payments are again, very very high. The resultant profit is then eaten away by taxes. I guess such cases mean that making money is difficult. But after reading the book, I have realised that real estate is not the only form of investment other than stocks. Hedging against inflation using other tangible assets like commodities, and starting businesses are alternatives. I finally see a world of abundance! THANKS A LOT for this enlightenment, or as you term it, apocalypse XD.
Conspiracy summarizes all that has gone before in all RK's books and has struck me as a bench mark that asks the question "How can one author know so much and communicate it with maximum efficiency?"
The ONLY other author with that same knowledge was M Scott Peck in his book the Road Less Traveled and subsequent books, which I would always term the best business book ever written when it was about understanding human nature and developing human skills.
RK's book and books are really a technical skill for understanding the global concept of money and investing. It is also a study in relative importance and being a comparison shopper in a bullet proof exposure of the character flaws of people in power by just writing the simple truth.
Exposure is enforcement and correcting the problem at rapid speed as these words are written.
This is work and courage in motion and can only be respected - pushing aside those who would attempt to obstruct. Just to much preparation here.
Great book, Robert! Thank you for your business in people's financial education. I read all your books and all of them are life changing - not only for me , but for many people. I intend to avieve a steady passive income investing my salary from medical field into real estate and then organise charitable educational programmes for kids who can't afford private education. "Competitions in science, history, finances where the most successful students can win private education or books, or money". I like the way you educate people around the globe and I'm keen on organising similar activity in a place where I live.
Good luck in your business!
Alex
Brilliant book! Very insightful. My concern is that every person on the planet can not be a B or I type. We need E and S types to make our society function. What will happen to these poor bastards as the new world unfolds. I believe we should look also at trying to create a fairer society rather than just accepting it as is and adjusting our behaviour to suit the rules. If things are not changed we will probably get a socialist, perhaps even communist society, forced on us by the poor and downtrodden.
I was feeling really negative about my real estate investment, scratch that, real estate speculations and felt like throwing in the towel. However, after reading chapter 12, I realized that I have acquired a wealth of knowledge I could not learn anywhere other way. Knowing what I know now if I can sell my bad investment I will be in a strong position to comeback in to the real estate mark and not make the same mistakes again. The only thing is it’s going to be painful but trust me my focus will be on cash flow and not capital gains.
I've been awakened to the real life. Living the E/S quadrant since leaving high school has been disastrous - 22 years of employment with no foundation to ease the worry of 'Will I be able to retire?’
We are all scared about own future. We do the same mistake repeatedly and wonder why life isn't better. The mistake is we plan to do something, but never do. We need to plan the action AND action the plan!! It’s two-fold. One hand can’t clap. If my life is to change, it has to start with me. Doesn't matter how old I am now. Nor is it too late to begin anew.
Reading Conspiracy of the Rich has provoked my mind. I now see opportunities. My self-doubt will become a fear of the past.
I intend to re-read the book and add my contribution to the 'Let's Discuss' sections.
In consistently learning and applying the principles this book preaches my life will be enriched.
Rich Dad,Poor Dad caused a re-awakening in my life a few years ago and the same i passed on to a few friends whose financial mentality was tilted towards the the E & S side of the quadrant,it caused a paradigm shift in their lifes.
I must say this book is an eye opener that's written in your usual simple genre.I also share your passion for mass financial literacy across the world as an anti-dote to curing the world's poverty. Its commendable that you have chosen to share secrets/knowledge people in your class would rather guide jealously so that they can remain oppressive.There's no doubt about the fact that i have fed tremendously from your stable and i know that in a matter of time i will be joining you on the B & I side.Pls,expect me soonest!
I live in Nigeria, where mortgaging is not commonplace.People who own properties buy them outrightly, though that could be done through some kind of bank support but its usually not in the form of a long term mortgage payment. You said something about refinancing your properties after enhancing the value, what does that mean?or better still,how does the refinancing thing work?
Very enlightening book you have written and i have begun to think of how to begin applying the concepts. I have a major challenge though: in the US,it appears interest rates are single digit figures but in Nigeria currently we have interest rates as high as 24%, how can one practice the kind of examples you outlined in chapter 11
Hi Robert :
I'm one of your fan , i read most of your books.
But this book is a surprise for me !!! why , because its nothing more than collection of your old books ( except the part of history ).
But for principles and plan etc... they are all the old books.
This book is fantastic, I am buying it when it comes out!
Robert, I really appreciated reading this book online and being part of this tremendous experience. Your writing style is easy to follow and enjoyable to read, yet very informative without being condescending to the reader. I enjoyed every chapter and looked forward to getting the emails saying they were up on the site.
I think The Conspiracy of the Rich is going to cause quite a stir when it is released and is not going to make you any friends with the uber rich elite 300 families who run the central banks of the world. But I think you know that already! Though I have been reading about how banking and our economic and monetary systems work for only a little while, I was still surprised reading the posts about how many people were not aware of the way the monetary system has been set up. I thought I was the last person around! I think your book will go a long way to enlightening people on how things work. Good Job!
I also like that you spend the second half of the book on using the system to work for you and how to prepare and profit from the coming bad times. That message gives me hope that I can use my financial education to profit and weather through.
I agree that we need to really educate people on finances and how money and the system works. It needs to be taught in school. But I do agree with you that, as the elite set up our system with designs to keep us in the E/S side of the quadrant, perhaps it must be up to us as individuals to do it ourselves. My husband and I have read a lot of your books, play Cashflow and our kids play it as well. We are trying to teach our kids about money. We learned through experience ourselves, making mistakes along the way. We left mutual funds for good 6 years ago and have never looked back.
Thank you again Robert for the experience, I am honored to have participated.
Best wishes to you and Kim,

This is my first post. What a great book. I have been a Rich Dad fan for many years. You inspire and you give hope. Thanks for sharing the book with us as you were writing it.
As all your other books, this book was written in light, simple words that any lay man can easily understand. It is very repetitive and I think this was intentional so that the message sticks.
In my personal experience, everytime I read any of your books, my mind opens to new ideas. Your books have a way of awakening my mind. Your books always motivate me to try new ways of generating income, ways that amaze my friends, colleagues and even myself.
More power to you Robert! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
I really like your book because it pulls everything together that I've been thinking about. I really appreciate you writing a very readable book along with all of the other ones that you have written.
Your books should be on the reading list in English classes instead of just novels and maybe they could play your games for those kids that have trouble sitting still to read or have trouble reading. Unfortunately, because of the area I grew up in, I know a lot of people like that.
I had no expectations for a better life growing up. However I became very bored and dissatisfied with the types of jobs that you can get with a high school diploma. So I worked my way through first technical school then college and ended up with a better job.
About 5 years ago I quit my "secure" job after 20 years because I didn't feel secure. I did not trust my 401k to fund my retirement, wanted to have more time to pursue my true passions in life and didn't see how the government would be able to fund social security and medicare for us younger baby boomers. (Actually I think they should change the name of those programs to welfare because that is what they are.) On this job I saw several layoff cycles which focused on older, higher paid employees so I left and apprenticed myself in a friend's real estate business to learn. Now I and my spouse own several positive cash flow rental properties. I really like real estate because I have a lot of control over it.
Thanks again for your books and the books you have recommended in this book. I will look for them, read them, then discuss their contents with my spouse.
I also love your life story (and your Rich Dad's story too) because it is very motivating to know that through my own and my spouse's efforts we can work towards continually improving our lives.
Hi, I want to thank you for taking the time to teach others. Its really amazing what this book has taught me and it makes a lot of sense to study the history of money. Since I was little I new I wanted something different in my life and even though I didn't become a medical doctor like my dad wanted (a Psychologist instead) I enjoy helping people and this book has really pushed me to help people in the financial kingdom. I have a question for you in which companies do you have your investments for gold, silver, copper and Oil because I have been looking and learning about some but I would like to hear your advice.
Robert YOU are amazing and your heart is even more amazing!
I have found this experience to be possibly the most enriching experience as far as EDUCATION goes. What you have done is helped us to truly have a paradigm shift in the area of finances and TRUE security and how the world really works.
I have heard thoughout my life, as I'm sure most others have too, that life isn't all about money AND IT ISN'T, but it affects EVERY area of our life.
We all strive to have a good QUALITY of life, but TRUE quality of life comes when money is not an issue so that we can live out the days of our lives in peace with REAL freedom.
Robert, Thank You so much for giving yourself to the world. Because you chose to, I have a focus that I have never had in my life. I see things from a perspective that I didn't even know existed. My VISION has become so clear because you helped to move the fog away from it. You are a GIFT from heaven.
Am a psychiatrist & a Saudi Doctor
i have bought & read most of your books
am more than grateful to your revolutionary ideas and thinking
simply by reading - conspiracy of the rich - i shifted my plans
180 degrees-
i am planning also to come to Arizona to attend your courses
thank u Robert 4 changing my life !
Thoughts, how has your life been impacted, and what learned?
You seem more down to earth than many personal development people, even good ones. Reading and discussing in an ongoing way has greatly helped me to articulate thoughts and feelings about my own situation and what is going on around.
Copies of my discussion entries are, for me, a lot like chapters in my own journal of thoughts and experiences. I am sincerely appreciative for the opportunity to learn and also produce.
It seemed like it might even help for you to have similar questions for people to respond to in your books. It then occured to me that there are questions in many of your books.
It seems to me there is a big advantage to doing things this way. If you can figure out what will bring someone to participate equally well while reading a book, you may have accomplished something.
I am going to try and continue to learn and express things in order to participate in life more meaningfully. It seems to be more important than many people think. Good luck, God bless, and Be well!!!
Here is the reader from Hong Kong. Through your books, I have experience a different type of concepts that is varied from what I have learned before in the education system.
And the conspiracy of the rich allow us to see the big picture of what we are in. It is a nice book to read. Also, it is a nice book that motivate us to change in order to achieve the purpose of financial freedom.
Inspired from you, I have now started to get addicted to the game Monopoly and playing it with the offical rule. I have re-discovered the fun in playing the game!
For the future, it would be nice to have a book that can help us to find out the legal direct sell company with good training program that we can join. Since, I know many people what to learn while joining such program. But when they are in, they are frusturated whether they have enrolled the legal plan or ponzi plan.
Thank you to share your history to help to create a better world. My promise is to apply your 15 lessons in my life and spread the message, your message to my kids and everyone who have decided to change their mind-set.
Once again you've given us field tested additional knowledge as to how to go about getting on the path to financial independence. My need for an almost endless stream of details before making any major investment decision is fed by each book you release. However, I occasionally suffer from "analysis paralysis" so it takes me longer to get moving. This book has encouraged me to start putting my team together. Thank you for the continued support and inspiration.
First of all,
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
You are the best Rich Dad in the world - you must know it, again THE BEST RICH DAD IN THE WORLD.
Furthermore, you are sublime philanthropist- it is so amazing. For me you are the best mentor in financial area in the world, because only you show people how is important financial education.
My goal is to try mentioned 15 lessons in this book at real life and I believe it would change totally my life!
AGAIN THANK YOU, THAT YOU ARE.
The interactive e-book was pure genius in its use and scope of the World Wide Web. I will miss the opportunity to read the next chapter and ponder what you have presented. It was truly something I looked forward to each week.
I hope you write another book in this format....and perhaps others will do so as well.
Your attempts at financial education has completely changed my life. My husband and I are both Physicians....with so much education and NO financial education. We put ourselves into debt that has felt insurmountable, until reading your books and the great enlightenment of The Conspiracy of the Rich.
After following the news over the past year,I had been extremely upset,deeply concerned and truly frightened for everyone in this country and in the world....until I started to read The Conspiracy of the Rich.
The book "Conspiracy" and your financial education efforts have given me hope and a true sense of empowerment that I will no longer be at the mercy of the Rich, the Politicians, the Bankers and those in the Ivory Towers of Education that encouraged me to put myself into insurmountable debt to enter the noble profession of being a Doctor and broke for the rest of my life.
The Format of Conspiracy of the Rich...answered questions NOW, when so many others in the media cannot. More importantly it gave me solutions to this madness we are in and how to "fight back" as you put it and to not let it affect me. You have given me a tool to separate myself from all that is happening and continue to strive for the life I want to live...not a life that the Conspiracy chooses for me.
The more I increase my Financial IQ through the Rich Dad Company and your materials, the more hope and peace I feel that I have been given this great tool to fight back against The Conspiracy and to win.
From despair to hope and excitement for the future ....words cannot describe my gratitude for your commitment and efforts to share your knowledge and desire for others to become financially free.
I'm not a history buff but I have found the history of money to be fascinating. I love to tell friends and family what I've learned and hear them say "really?" Most people have no idea why we are where we are at now financially.
I have no idea if the country's future can/will be changed for the better. Probably not. But if we can do something individually at least that is better than nothing.
I have really enjoyed reading this book and have told everyone I know about it several times over. It has been wonderful to read a book that not only tells it like it is yet it tells it in real time as it happens. Anyone who does not heed what is said in this book will be regretting it in ten years.
It has been fun to get Robert's advice and opinion on current market conditions as it happens. USing this book in my life will help me sort through this economic mess and discover great opportunities to increase my wealth and get ahead of the game before the next major down turn in the next decade. There is never a better time than now to listen to true advice and not advice given by so called "experts" that earn their money from the E quadrant.
This book has had an impact on my life. I always enjoy your reading. You have helped to open up a new avenue of life for many people. Thanks I hope that you continue to write more books. Through my experence in life I have also written a book entitled How To Get Off The Financial Tight Rope. It teaches people about money from the basics of budgetting to the investing in Cash Flow Real Estate. The book is at www.HowMoneyReallyWorks.com it is a great read and I hope people can learn from it as well.
I quote this as I am overall not a conspiracy theorist or wacko. This said, what you state makes a lot of sense, and when you think about it, why not? The gov't which to a large extent determines our education, not wanting to create a strain on the tax system, creates schools that leave this out to have more employees and less entrepreneurs, B's and I's.
I saw this change my life in 2001 when I left my last full time, round the year job. I read RDPD and many others and became aware much more of where my $$ was going though I knew it was tight before when I worked. Then thanks to personal acquisition of some wealth, etc, I have gone out and bought some r/e investments AFTER before verifying they would POSITIVELY cash flow at a min 10%/year.
Others say I live well below my means and this book supports that as well, though I will add I would like to upgrade a few things here and there, on my own terms!! Thanks
Your book is and will be a success and thanks for sharing your points of view with us.
The conspiracy is bigger than I thought and the issues you commented lifted the veil in my brain.
The most important lesson that I learned is not trust at all the news released about the "crisis" is better spend that time planning a bussiness.
One of the things I enjoyed a lot was the reading of a recomended book, "Grunch of giants" I realized how fool we are letting other people play with our lifes.
Thanks for the book! A great summation of the Rich Dad philosophy in your original book. It's disturbing that in my mid-40's, I have less than a year's salary in my 401K and IRA, but followed all the advice from financial planners. Also, realize as I get older, it's becoming more difficult to go to a highly responsible, low-paying, full time job in the airline industry. I want to be financially free.
You took what I knew inherently and shifted my perspective. In March bought my first rental. It has not been without challenges, the learning curve has been great, and I'm making a lot of mistakes! And the $400/month cash flow goes largely to repairs, marketing, etc. However, I'm enjoying it all and am currently shopping and making offers on more homes.
Also, thank you for pointing out cycles! Instead of jumping onto opportunities after they've peaked, I'm buying things that are depressed and that are a good deal now.
Hi Robert. I believe this has been your best. Or, is it that with the crises in the financial markets I have switched on my brain to realise that I need to do something and take control to save myself. I have been fooled by the unsound financial advice and education. Even today my so-called financial advisor believes that the markets will recover and all will be well. Well, maybe not.
I have up to now drifted along in life believing that I will be OK (had a good job but was given the boot at 59 (well I agreed to part company because of the pressures). The lesson I have learned is more than ever I need to educate myself at the age of 63 to safeguard my golden years. I need to be free from the grips of the rich conspiracy that are lining their pockets.
I would like to develop passive income streams and through this create my own investment channels.
I am really interested in your franchise offer, which I note has not yet been launched in South Africa.
You talk about building a team. Well I would like to be part of your team here in South Africa and lets do a special deal to uplift all.
Thank you for writing this book. It has been a very important piece of work for me to go through. I was at a cross roads and you have clarified my vision considerably. It seems to me that this is your most important work thus far, but maybe I am just a bit biased right now.
Reading each chapter felt like an extremely sharp Samurai sword was cutting through so much confusion and misinformation in my head. The way you organized the historical facts was so badly needed to truly comprehend the history of the matter and our place in the puzzle. Another area that was unclear to me even after reading multiple books you've written was the mindset behind the B/I quadrant.
True, that most of the material in this book has been disclosed in other books. However, putting the string of information together in this book alongside with all that has been happening in the world over the last two years leaves the "conspiracy" undeniably naked. Also reexamining the most important lessons along with your real examples and thoughts behind those decisions were what did it for me to finally have that 'ahhhhh' moment and move into the action mode with confidence.
Immediately, I started taking actions such as changing some of my mutual funds into precious metals, silver. I am also on the move to utilize your material to invest in real estate. Which I had already been working on, but now I truly feel a sense of urgency. And, oh yes, thank you, I finally understand the importance of putting a top notch team together.
Good book overall, lots of great information and view from a different angle.
Just a thought - isn't money, from the perspective of the rich, just one form of control. The power of money is that those that don't have it will obey to get it and those that do have it will obey to keep it.
America was founded with the principle that individuals have the God given right to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.
President Obama has promised to fundamentally change the US. To do this you must change the fundamentals.
Many will be surprised to see what will happen to the US (and the world) in the next two years. Look at the economic state of Great Britain, the coming collapse of Mexico and the ensuing 20-30 million illegals flooding over the border, food shortages, wars, the collapse of the Dollar, and the resulting social upheaval of America. I believe Robert only touched on the future of society when he talked about the shanty towns. The first thing to go when people are hungry is morals. A free society cannot be governed by an immoral populace. So we will loose our freedom - for a loaf of bread.
To quote a famous quote -
"When you see these things, know that it is the beginning of sorrows"
Robert, thank you for the opportunity to read your book. A lot of naysayers will probably point out that you have repeated some things from previous books. But my response is that good ideas can't be repeated too much. And, some of us need a clue-bat for things to finally sink in. I've read a number of your books. And I've still learned some new and exciting ideas. Asset classes, infinite returns- these are powerful ideas. Thank you for these insights... and more. Good luck on your franchise. Your mission is forthright.
Thank you so much for the information shared on the Conspiracy of the Rich. The book shed so much light on how the global economy got to this point and what we should do to have control of our financial life.
I really appreciated the interactive format of give and take afforded us through this forum. It refreshed my memory on a lot of concepts that I have learned from reading the Rich Dad series of books and synthesized them all together in one book, thanks!
I agree that knowledge is the new money and it will level the playing field and separate the rich from the poor for this new era. If we don't become financially educated and remain financially illiterate we have already sealed our financial future and will be left behind.
I plan to be RICH this time around (thanks Robert);-) because of the financial education that has prepared me to step into the conspiracy and take back what rightfully belongs to me and my heirs! They will forever be grateful that I had the courage to seize the moment and change our legacy from this day forth!
All I can say is thank you. I thank God for your knowledge, I've learned things I've never heard before in my life. I want to be and plan to be wealthy for me, my family and others who need help. You have given me the insight I need to change my current situation. I appreciate your honesty and your committment to help others live financially free.
After having read this book my thoughts are mostly ones of enlightment. I noticed though that as I try and share some of the things contained herein, I am met with adversity even among spouse and friends. This is something I do not understand. Why would people not only be willingly ignorant but protest against learning? I do not understand that at all. I am truly grateful for all I have learned from rich dad teaching from this book as well as the several others I have read and the many wonderful CD's with Ken, Dolf, Kim, Sharon and my personal favorite to listen to as he makes things so practical and logical to me is Robert. The things I have learned not only make me money but they also save me thousands as well. I am amazed when oppurtunities present how many people can see only a cost and not the potential or value of things. I believe that is part of the instilled teaching we get of poor mans mentality by our government ran schools who want to teach us to get a job, and if it be a high paying job they will pay for us to have more schooling, so they can take a larger chunk of our earnings in order to teach more children to do the same and perpetuate this horrible process. Thank God for someone like Robert to try and help those who would seek it. I am also very excited to hear about him thinking of franchising rich dad, I will definately be looking to start that up here as I am having trouble even finding a cashflow club within less than 100 miles. God bless you Robert in all you do, and thank you for letting me share thoughts with you in your new book.
Robert - Not sure where to put this comment, but in Chapter 5 on p 78, I am thinking that your statement in the next to last paragraph is a typographical error.
Here is what you say:
"As baby boomers begin to retire, ...they will be selling stocks not buying them. And when there are more people buying than selling, the market goes down. "
Shouldn't that read "when there are more people selling than buying" ???????
I am a mother of 8,grandmother of 4, I have set up corporations,LLC's LTD-PS, created trademarks, copyrights, branding and created a patent- to create my own money.We started out with the Amway Corp as IBO's 1998 and the training system created by International Leadership Development Inc. Jack Daughery of Spokane Washington.
I am Chairman and Co-Founder of the Educational Foundation for the Children of Fiji 501c3
Building a $70 Million Dollar
"ALL GREEN State of the Art" school campus in Fiji.
This school Centre of Excellence will be the flagship of the South Pacific.
The principal, Mr. Apenisa Kurisaqila from the Nadroga Navosa Provincial High school would read a chapter a day to the children during the morning assembly from your books and many other transformational teachers.
They sent me their dream for a new school and the Chief Donated 100 acres of his own property to be for all the children of Fiji and the world. The Chief owns Tavarua and the property that the Shangri-La Fijian Resort is on as well.
The Chief believes in empowering his children (future students of the Centre of Excellence)with the financial education you have outlined and we are creating a place to make that happen.
I am surrounding myself with gifted people, like the master plan architect Mr. Jocelyn Mackay Calabasa Cal.who on a hand shake said "I'll help you build the new school" and others like him who have joined me in the vision of helping over 10,000 students in Fiji and many more here in the US for the future exchange program.
We are working towards the vision of the Ministry of Education and would like to have many more copies of the Cashflow game available to the students preschool-adults.
I gave them the 3 I purchased and played over and over with my children. I am looking for mentors who see that that by my actions I am applying the principles with integrity to serve the most people with their high good in mind and with the least amount negative outcome.
This school is a huge barnraising effort, everyone will participate in building the new school. and then the children will say "my dad built that!", my grandmother did that!", my brother and sister built that!".
We will have aan Olympic Training Center, Business, Marketing and Enterpeneural program as well as the Professional, Vocational and AG programs.
We are creating product lines for the market place. We have met with Bob Circosta and the Homeshopping network in Tampa Fl. about some of the productlines to be marketed via TV and the internet.
Our Impact from Social Networking is to provide clean water,food, education, Micro-loans and an International Market Place for products.
In the near future we also are planning on having the Pasadena Art Center Sr. transportation students to be participating in a competion to design a eco friendly train to replace the old sugar cane rail way system.
It will provide a market for their own sugar cane via fuel and public transportation system for the students and local people during the day and product and services during the night. From Nadi to the interior over 80 kilometers away.
It was from the dreams of the children to be more than they ever thought they could be.
We all want to say Thank you Robert.
Has your book touched our lives YES it has.
I hope you are proud of all of us. As a teacher seeing your students using real life applications of what you have taught
is most rewarding I'm sure you'll agree because we are a homeschool family. Respectfully yours, Carol Wachniak
Out of the MANY very important books that you've written, 'CONSPIRACY ...' is your most important work! Thank you for exposing the financial futility that most people face (People as Plankton!)
Perhaps the best thing about this are the POSITIVE SOLUTIONS that you share. It's totally futile to fight these 'international bankers', the Fed & our own politicians! But it does make sense to 'catch their wave', so that we are insulated and protected from inflation, taxes and their false promises.
that you and your team created such a wonderful product online and offered it for free to the whole world. The book project has been an excellent experience for me and opened my eyes in many ways. Thanks again for all the inspiration and your fearless attitude.
One lesson it has taught me is that speculation has no boundaries and that selling it as a dream can really move people.
I would like to take this opportunnity to thank you for having the courage to write and publish this book.
I have read most of your back catalogue, and find this latest , Conspiracy of the Rich, to be very educational and though provoking.
I am an American, ex-US Marine, as well, and have been living and working in business in the UK & across Europe now for 16 years.
I am also in the process of writting a novel, based on Conspiracies in the Corporate and Business World, watch this space......
I came across an article in the Financial Times weekend paper (this weekend) titled "Banks renege on financial education"..... I wonder why?
You can read this short article by clicking on below link , I thought you may find it of interest as it is dramatic evidence of what you have been teaching all along.
I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK-YOU FOR YOUR WONDERFUL BOOK!
It is our prayer that people will wake up and realize the value of wisdom in their lives. 'Knowledge is the new money' needs to be posted on the walls of every school. We've enjoyed the journey and this book should be an instant #1 best seller. In our own little way, we've spread the word and started a 'cashflow' group in our community. Unfortunately, too many people do not take their money seriously and don't have the desire to learn. We've even offered to buy 'cashflow 101' games for our local school system and the teachers won't take the time to learn the value that this could have for their students.
Best wishes on the book's publication and hope to attend a RichDad workshop in Scottsdale soon. Meanwhile, growinassets is following you on twitter.

Dear Robert,
I really enjoyed reading your book online, and have told many friends and family members about it. I especially liked the special features not found in hard copy books, like the video links, the opportunity to make comments and to see what other people were saying about the questions. I have read many of your books in the past, and I think this was the most enjoyable. Plus the delays between chapters gave me time to digest the current chapter more thoroughly.
Thanks!
Linda
Thank´s Robert for sharing your knowledge with us.
Greetings for Argentina. (Sourth America).
The Conspiracy of the Rich has done a great job of giving a picture from 100 miles up as well as from 1 mile up. It presents a matrix in which to put all the "happenings" around us. With it I am better able to see (that's vision) how we are effected and how better to affect the lives of my family and friends.
Robert, Thank You
Bill
Succinctly, greed from above is killing the system. Even E and S's lived prosperiously within the nutshell concept of the system. It created trust through habit and protraction. And with trust deception is masked. Debt created that prosperity, but it got out of control with the do good politicians and legislation strenching the limits of it. The IMF and CFR collaboration outsourcing jobs abroad underminded further the demise selling fish. Some form of protectionism is in order to keep a debt driven system moving. Interventionism is the wrench that breaks it down, and impoverishes the system that people believed in--it's just part of the plan.
Dear Robert Kiyosaki
you are a born star to be celebrated. Your book, has left an indilable mark in my life, by virtue of realizing the significance of one to have a financial education, not mere " subject education" as you said, that school do a good job training people to be Es and Ss,but almost nothing to train them to be Bs or Is.
Today people go to school to learn how to work for money, but learn nothing about to have money work for them, and the worse thing ,goverment create more jobs than creating more entreprenuers.
I thank God of giving you wisdom, financial intelligence, persistance,motivatation, and courage to reveal the conspiracy of the rich.
I,m currently a student doing my Law degree,at Nelson Mandela School of Law,University of Fort Hare, East London Campus, South Africa.
It is a privilege at this age to get hold of your living doctrines concerning finance and business. I am longing, deeply yearning to be your student.

Awesome book!!!
However, the ideas in the first phase can potentially cause a really big outroar, from those rich and poor. But then again, it makes sense. Just like when you said "your house is not your asset", people will stop complaining and do something about their lives.
I live in a country with sky high real estate prices, but with low rental yields. In your example, the 150K house yielded 1.2K rent a month. that is 14.4K a year, which offers a rate ( i think it is called capitalization) nearly 10%. Where I live, a rate of 3% is considered very very good:( Because the mortgage needed on the investment is huge, the interest payments are again, very very high. The resultant profit is then eaten away by taxes. I guess such cases mean that making money is difficult. But after reading the book, I have realised that real estate is not the only form of investment other than stocks. Hedging against inflation using other tangible assets like commodities, and starting businesses are alternatives. I finally see a world of abundance! THANKS A LOT for this enlightenment, or as you term it, apocalypse XD.
Conspiracy summarizes all that has gone before in all RK's books and has struck me as a bench mark that asks the question "How can one author know so much and communicate it with maximum efficiency?"
The ONLY other author with that same knowledge was M Scott Peck in his book the Road Less Traveled and subsequent books, which I would always term the best business book ever written when it was about understanding human nature and developing human skills.
RK's book and books are really a technical skill for understanding the global concept of money and investing. It is also a study in relative importance and being a comparison shopper in a bullet proof exposure of the character flaws of people in power by just writing the simple truth.
Exposure is enforcement and correcting the problem at rapid speed as these words are written.
This is work and courage in motion and can only be respected - pushing aside those who would attempt to obstruct. Just to much preparation here.
Great book, Robert! Thank you for your business in people's financial education. I read all your books and all of them are life changing - not only for me , but for many people. I intend to avieve a steady passive income investing my salary from medical field into real estate and then organise charitable educational programmes for kids who can't afford private education. "Competitions in science, history, finances where the most successful students can win private education or books, or money". I like the way you educate people around the globe and I'm keen on organising similar activity in a place where I live.
Good luck in your business!
Alex
Robert,
Brilliant book! Very insightful. My concern is that every person on the planet can not be a B or I type. We need E and S types to make our society function. What will happen to these poor bastards as the new world unfolds. I believe we should look also at trying to create a fairer society rather than just accepting it as is and adjusting our behaviour to suit the rules. If things are not changed we will probably get a socialist, perhaps even communist society, forced on us by the poor and downtrodden.
Robert,
I was feeling really negative about my real estate investment, scratch that, real estate speculations and felt like throwing in the towel. However, after reading chapter 12, I realized that I have acquired a wealth of knowledge I could not learn anywhere other way. Knowing what I know now if I can sell my bad investment I will be in a strong position to comeback in to the real estate mark and not make the same mistakes again. The only thing is it’s going to be painful but trust me my focus will be on cash flow and not capital gains.

I've been awakened to the real life. Living the E/S quadrant since leaving high school has been disastrous - 22 years of employment with no foundation to ease the worry of 'Will I be able to retire?’
We are all scared about own future. We do the same mistake repeatedly and wonder why life isn't better. The mistake is we plan to do something, but never do. We need to plan the action AND action the plan!! It’s two-fold. One hand can’t clap. If my life is to change, it has to start with me. Doesn't matter how old I am now. Nor is it too late to begin anew.
Reading Conspiracy of the Rich has provoked my mind. I now see opportunities. My self-doubt will become a fear of the past.
I intend to re-read the book and add my contribution to the 'Let's Discuss' sections.
In consistently learning and applying the principles this book preaches my life will be enriched.
My new life starts now!!!!
Mr. Kiyosaki,
Rich Dad,Poor Dad caused a re-awakening in my life a few years ago and the same i passed on to a few friends whose financial mentality was tilted towards the the E & S side of the quadrant,it caused a paradigm shift in their lifes.
I must say this book is an eye opener that's written in your usual simple genre.I also share your passion for mass financial literacy across the world as an anti-dote to curing the world's poverty. Its commendable that you have chosen to share secrets/knowledge people in your class would rather guide jealously so that they can remain oppressive.There's no doubt about the fact that i have fed tremendously from your stable and i know that in a matter of time i will be joining you on the B & I side.Pls,expect me soonest!
I live in Nigeria, where mortgaging is not commonplace.People who own properties buy them outrightly, though that could be done through some kind of bank support but its usually not in the form of a long term mortgage payment. You said something about refinancing your properties after enhancing the value, what does that mean?or better still,how does the refinancing thing work?
Hello Robert,
Very enlightening book you have written and i have begun to think of how to begin applying the concepts. I have a major challenge though: in the US,it appears interest rates are single digit figures but in Nigeria currently we have interest rates as high as 24%, how can one practice the kind of examples you outlined in chapter 11
Hi Robert :
I'm one of your fan , i read most of your books.
But this book is a surprise for me !!! why , because its nothing more than collection of your old books ( except the part of history ).
But for principles and plan etc... they are all the old books.
but any way , thanks
Robert, I really appreciated reading this book online and being part of this tremendous experience. Your writing style is easy to follow and enjoyable to read, yet very informative without being condescending to the reader. I enjoyed every chapter and looked forward to getting the emails saying they were up on the site.
I think The Conspiracy of the Rich is going to cause quite a stir when it is released and is not going to make you any friends with the uber rich elite 300 families who run the central banks of the world. But I think you know that already! Though I have been reading about how banking and our economic and monetary systems work for only a little while, I was still surprised reading the posts about how many people were not aware of the way the monetary system has been set up. I thought I was the last person around! I think your book will go a long way to enlightening people on how things work. Good Job!
I also like that you spend the second half of the book on using the system to work for you and how to prepare and profit from the coming bad times. That message gives me hope that I can use my financial education to profit and weather through.
I agree that we need to really educate people on finances and how money and the system works. It needs to be taught in school. But I do agree with you that, as the elite set up our system with designs to keep us in the E/S side of the quadrant, perhaps it must be up to us as individuals to do it ourselves. My husband and I have read a lot of your books, play Cashflow and our kids play it as well. We are trying to teach our kids about money. We learned through experience ourselves, making mistakes along the way. We left mutual funds for good 6 years ago and have never looked back.
Thank you again Robert for the experience, I am honored to have participated.
Best wishes to you and Kim,

Robert,
This is my first post. What a great book. I have been a Rich Dad fan for many years. You inspire and you give hope. Thanks for sharing the book with us as you were writing it.
Tim
As all your other books, this book was written in light, simple words that any lay man can easily understand. It is very repetitive and I think this was intentional so that the message sticks.
In my personal experience, everytime I read any of your books, my mind opens to new ideas. Your books have a way of awakening my mind. Your books always motivate me to try new ways of generating income, ways that amaze my friends, colleagues and even myself.
More power to you Robert! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
I really like your book because it pulls everything together that I've been thinking about. I really appreciate you writing a very readable book along with all of the other ones that you have written.
Your books should be on the reading list in English classes instead of just novels and maybe they could play your games for those kids that have trouble sitting still to read or have trouble reading. Unfortunately, because of the area I grew up in, I know a lot of people like that.
I had no expectations for a better life growing up. However I became very bored and dissatisfied with the types of jobs that you can get with a high school diploma. So I worked my way through first technical school then college and ended up with a better job.
About 5 years ago I quit my "secure" job after 20 years because I didn't feel secure. I did not trust my 401k to fund my retirement, wanted to have more time to pursue my true passions in life and didn't see how the government would be able to fund social security and medicare for us younger baby boomers. (Actually I think they should change the name of those programs to welfare because that is what they are.) On this job I saw several layoff cycles which focused on older, higher paid employees so I left and apprenticed myself in a friend's real estate business to learn. Now I and my spouse own several positive cash flow rental properties. I really like real estate because I have a lot of control over it.
Thanks again for your books and the books you have recommended in this book. I will look for them, read them, then discuss their contents with my spouse.
I also love your life story (and your Rich Dad's story too) because it is very motivating to know that through my own and my spouse's efforts we can work towards continually improving our lives.
Hi, I want to thank you for taking the time to teach others. Its really amazing what this book has taught me and it makes a lot of sense to study the history of money. Since I was little I new I wanted something different in my life and even though I didn't become a medical doctor like my dad wanted (a Psychologist instead) I enjoy helping people and this book has really pushed me to help people in the financial kingdom. I have a question for you in which companies do you have your investments for gold, silver, copper and Oil because I have been looking and learning about some but I would like to hear your advice.
Robert YOU are amazing and your heart is even more amazing!
I have found this experience to be possibly the most enriching experience as far as EDUCATION goes. What you have done is helped us to truly have a paradigm shift in the area of finances and TRUE security and how the world really works.
I have heard thoughout my life, as I'm sure most others have too, that life isn't all about money AND IT ISN'T, but it affects EVERY area of our life.
We all strive to have a good QUALITY of life, but TRUE quality of life comes when money is not an issue so that we can live out the days of our lives in peace with REAL freedom.
Robert, Thank You so much for giving yourself to the world. Because you chose to, I have a focus that I have never had in my life. I see things from a perspective that I didn't even know existed. My VISION has become so clear because you helped to move the fog away from it. You are a GIFT from heaven.
Again, thank you.
Pam from Southern California
Are you planning on releasing the Afterword online before the hard copy of the book comes out?
Am a psychiatrist & a Saudi Doctor
i have bought & read most of your books
am more than grateful to your revolutionary ideas and thinking
simply by reading - conspiracy of the rich - i shifted my plans
180 degrees-
i am planning also to come to Arizona to attend your courses
thank u Robert 4 changing my life !
You seem more down to earth than many personal development people, even good ones. Reading and discussing in an ongoing way has greatly helped me to articulate thoughts and feelings about my own situation and what is going on around.
Copies of my discussion entries are, for me, a lot like chapters in my own journal of thoughts and experiences. I am sincerely appreciative for the opportunity to learn and also produce.
It seemed like it might even help for you to have similar questions for people to respond to in your books. It then occured to me that there are questions in many of your books.
It seems to me there is a big advantage to doing things this way. If you can figure out what will bring someone to participate equally well while reading a book, you may have accomplished something.
I am going to try and continue to learn and express things in order to participate in life more meaningfully. It seems to be more important than many people think. Good luck, God bless, and Be well!!!
谢谢 ～ Rich Dad
可惜我在中国买不到，目前还没有中文版。然而英文原版我也买不到～！
Hi Robert,
Here is the reader from Hong Kong. Through your books, I have experience a different type of concepts that is varied from what I have learned before in the education system.
And the conspiracy of the rich allow us to see the big picture of what we are in. It is a nice book to read. Also, it is a nice book that motivate us to change in order to achieve the purpose of financial freedom.
Inspired from you, I have now started to get addicted to the game Monopoly and playing it with the offical rule. I have re-discovered the fun in playing the game!
For the future, it would be nice to have a book that can help us to find out the legal direct sell company with good training program that we can join. Since, I know many people what to learn while joining such program. But when they are in, they are frusturated whether they have enrolled the legal plan or ponzi plan.
Thanks for your effort.

Mr. Kiyosaki,
Thank you to share your history to help to create a better world. My promise is to apply your 15 lessons in my life and spread the message, your message to my kids and everyone who have decided to change their mind-set.
God Bless you
Robert,
Once again you've given us field tested additional knowledge as to how to go about getting on the path to financial independence. My need for an almost endless stream of details before making any major investment decision is fed by each book you release. However, I occasionally suffer from "analysis paralysis" so it takes me longer to get moving. This book has encouraged me to start putting my team together. Thank you for the continued support and inspiration.
Hello Mr. Robert Kiyosaki,
First of all,
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
You are the best Rich Dad in the world - you must know it, again THE BEST RICH DAD IN THE WORLD.
Furthermore, you are sublime philanthropist- it is so amazing. For me you are the best mentor in financial area in the world, because only you show people how is important financial education.
My goal is to try mentioned 15 lessons in this book at real life and I believe it would change totally my life!
AGAIN THANK YOU, THAT YOU ARE.
Best regards,
Ana Suchanova from Lithuania.
See you
Robert,
The interactive e-book was pure genius in its use and scope of the World Wide Web. I will miss the opportunity to read the next chapter and ponder what you have presented. It was truly something I looked forward to each week.
I hope you write another book in this format....and perhaps others will do so as well.
Your attempts at financial education has completely changed my life. My husband and I are both Physicians....with so much education and NO financial education. We put ourselves into debt that has felt insurmountable, until reading your books and the great enlightenment of The Conspiracy of the Rich.
After following the news over the past year,I had been extremely upset,deeply concerned and truly frightened for everyone in this country and in the world....until I started to read The Conspiracy of the Rich.
The book "Conspiracy" and your financial education efforts have given me hope and a true sense of empowerment that I will no longer be at the mercy of the Rich, the Politicians, the Bankers and those in the Ivory Towers of Education that encouraged me to put myself into insurmountable debt to enter the noble profession of being a Doctor and broke for the rest of my life.
The Format of Conspiracy of the Rich...answered questions NOW, when so many others in the media cannot. More importantly it gave me solutions to this madness we are in and how to "fight back" as you put it and to not let it affect me. You have given me a tool to separate myself from all that is happening and continue to strive for the life I want to live...not a life that the Conspiracy chooses for me.
The more I increase my Financial IQ through the Rich Dad Company and your materials, the more hope and peace I feel that I have been given this great tool to fight back against The Conspiracy and to win.
From despair to hope and excitement for the future ....words cannot describe my gratitude for your commitment and efforts to share your knowledge and desire for others to become financially free.
Thank you so much!
DT Caprio
I'm not a history buff but I have found the history of money to be fascinating. I love to tell friends and family what I've learned and hear them say "really?" Most people have no idea why we are where we are at now financially.
I have no idea if the country's future can/will be changed for the better. Probably not. But if we can do something individually at least that is better than nothing.
I have really enjoyed reading this book and have told everyone I know about it several times over. It has been wonderful to read a book that not only tells it like it is yet it tells it in real time as it happens. Anyone who does not heed what is said in this book will be regretting it in ten years.
It has been fun to get Robert's advice and opinion on current market conditions as it happens. USing this book in my life will help me sort through this economic mess and discover great opportunities to increase my wealth and get ahead of the game before the next major down turn in the next decade. There is never a better time than now to listen to true advice and not advice given by so called "experts" that earn their money from the E quadrant.
This book has had an impact on my life. I always enjoy your reading. You have helped to open up a new avenue of life for many people. Thanks I hope that you continue to write more books. Through my experence in life I have also written a book entitled How To Get Off The Financial Tight Rope. It teaches people about money from the basics of budgetting to the investing in Cash Flow Real Estate. The book is at www.HowMoneyReallyWorks.com it is a great read and I hope people can learn from it as well.
I quote this as I am overall not a conspiracy theorist or wacko. This said, what you state makes a lot of sense, and when you think about it, why not? The gov't which to a large extent determines our education, not wanting to create a strain on the tax system, creates schools that leave this out to have more employees and less entrepreneurs, B's and I's.
I saw this change my life in 2001 when I left my last full time, round the year job. I read RDPD and many others and became aware much more of where my $$ was going though I knew it was tight before when I worked. Then thanks to personal acquisition of some wealth, etc, I have gone out and bought some r/e investments AFTER before verifying they would POSITIVELY cash flow at a min 10%/year.
Others say I live well below my means and this book supports that as well, though I will add I would like to upgrade a few things here and there, on my own terms!! Thanks
Your book is and will be a success and thanks for sharing your points of view with us.
The conspiracy is bigger than I thought and the issues you commented lifted the veil in my brain.
The most important lesson that I learned is not trust at all the news released about the "crisis" is better spend that time planning a bussiness.
One of the things I enjoyed a lot was the reading of a recomended book, "Grunch of giants" I realized how fool we are letting other people play with our lifes.
Thanks for the book! A great summation of the Rich Dad philosophy in your original book. It's disturbing that in my mid-40's, I have less than a year's salary in my 401K and IRA, but followed all the advice from financial planners. Also, realize as I get older, it's becoming more difficult to go to a highly responsible, low-paying, full time job in the airline industry. I want to be financially free.
You took what I knew inherently and shifted my perspective. In March bought my first rental. It has not been without challenges, the learning curve has been great, and I'm making a lot of mistakes! And the $400/month cash flow goes largely to repairs, marketing, etc. However, I'm enjoying it all and am currently shopping and making offers on more homes.
Also, thank you for pointing out cycles! Instead of jumping onto opportunities after they've peaked, I'm buying things that are depressed and that are a good deal now.
Hi Robert. I believe this has been your best. Or, is it that with the crises in the financial markets I have switched on my brain to realise that I need to do something and take control to save myself. I have been fooled by the unsound financial advice and education. Even today my so-called financial advisor believes that the markets will recover and all will be well. Well, maybe not.
I have up to now drifted along in life believing that I will be OK (had a good job but was given the boot at 59 (well I agreed to part company because of the pressures). The lesson I have learned is more than ever I need to educate myself at the age of 63 to safeguard my golden years. I need to be free from the grips of the rich conspiracy that are lining their pockets.
I would like to develop passive income streams and through this create my own investment channels.
I am really interested in your franchise offer, which I note has not yet been launched in South Africa.
You talk about building a team. Well I would like to be part of your team here in South Africa and lets do a special deal to uplift all.
Kindest of Regards
Thank you for writing this book. It has been a very important piece of work for me to go through. I was at a cross roads and you have clarified my vision considerably. It seems to me that this is your most important work thus far, but maybe I am just a bit biased right now.
Reading each chapter felt like an extremely sharp Samurai sword was cutting through so much confusion and misinformation in my head. The way you organized the historical facts was so badly needed to truly comprehend the history of the matter and our place in the puzzle. Another area that was unclear to me even after reading multiple books you've written was the mindset behind the B/I quadrant.
True, that most of the material in this book has been disclosed in other books. However, putting the string of information together in this book alongside with all that has been happening in the world over the last two years leaves the "conspiracy" undeniably naked. Also reexamining the most important lessons along with your real examples and thoughts behind those decisions were what did it for me to finally have that 'ahhhhh' moment and move into the action mode with confidence.
Immediately, I started taking actions such as changing some of my mutual funds into precious metals, silver. I am also on the move to utilize your material to invest in real estate. Which I had already been working on, but now I truly feel a sense of urgency. And, oh yes, thank you, I finally understand the importance of putting a top notch team together.
Good book overall, lots of great information and view from a different angle.
Just a thought - isn't money, from the perspective of the rich, just one form of control. The power of money is that those that don't have it will obey to get it and those that do have it will obey to keep it.
America was founded with the principle that individuals have the God given right to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.
President Obama has promised to fundamentally change the US. To do this you must change the fundamentals.
Many will be surprised to see what will happen to the US (and the world) in the next two years. Look at the economic state of Great Britain, the coming collapse of Mexico and the ensuing 20-30 million illegals flooding over the border, food shortages, wars, the collapse of the Dollar, and the resulting social upheaval of America. I believe Robert only touched on the future of society when he talked about the shanty towns. The first thing to go when people are hungry is morals. A free society cannot be governed by an immoral populace. So we will loose our freedom - for a loaf of bread.
To quote a famous quote -
"When you see these things, know that it is the beginning of sorrows"
Robert, thank you for the opportunity to read your book. A lot of naysayers will probably point out that you have repeated some things from previous books. But my response is that good ideas can't be repeated too much. And, some of us need a clue-bat for things to finally sink in. I've read a number of your books. And I've still learned some new and exciting ideas. Asset classes, infinite returns- these are powerful ideas. Thank you for these insights... and more. Good luck on your franchise. Your mission is forthright.
Thank you so much for the information shared on the Conspiracy of the Rich. The book shed so much light on how the global economy got to this point and what we should do to have control of our financial life.
Thank you so much. It's time to get into action.
I really appreciated the interactive format of give and take afforded us through this forum. It refreshed my memory on a lot of concepts that I have learned from reading the Rich Dad series of books and synthesized them all together in one book, thanks!
I agree that knowledge is the new money and it will level the playing field and separate the rich from the poor for this new era. If we don't become financially educated and remain financially illiterate we have already sealed our financial future and will be left behind.
I plan to be RICH this time around (thanks Robert);-) because of the financial education that has prepared me to step into the conspiracy and take back what rightfully belongs to me and my heirs! They will forever be grateful that I had the courage to seize the moment and change our legacy from this day forth!
All I can say is thank you. I thank God for your knowledge, I've learned things I've never heard before in my life. I want to be and plan to be wealthy for me, my family and others who need help. You have given me the insight I need to change my current situation. I appreciate your honesty and your committment to help others live financially free.
God Bless

After having read this book my thoughts are mostly ones of enlightment. I noticed though that as I try and share some of the things contained herein, I am met with adversity even among spouse and friends. This is something I do not understand. Why would people not only be willingly ignorant but protest against learning? I do not understand that at all. I am truly grateful for all I have learned from rich dad teaching from this book as well as the several others I have read and the many wonderful CD's with Ken, Dolf, Kim, Sharon and my personal favorite to listen to as he makes things so practical and logical to me is Robert. The things I have learned not only make me money but they also save me thousands as well. I am amazed when oppurtunities present how many people can see only a cost and not the potential or value of things. I believe that is part of the instilled teaching we get of poor mans mentality by our government ran schools who want to teach us to get a job, and if it be a high paying job they will pay for us to have more schooling, so they can take a larger chunk of our earnings in order to teach more children to do the same and perpetuate this horrible process. Thank God for someone like Robert to try and help those who would seek it. I am also very excited to hear about him thinking of franchising rich dad, I will definately be looking to start that up here as I am having trouble even finding a cashflow club within less than 100 miles. God bless you Robert in all you do, and thank you for letting me share thoughts with you in your new book.
Robert - Not sure where to put this comment, but in Chapter 5 on p 78, I am thinking that your statement in the next to last paragraph is a typographical error.
Here is what you say:
"As baby boomers begin to retire, ...they will be selling stocks not buying them. And when there are more people buying than selling, the market goes down. "
Shouldn't that read "when there are more people selling than buying" ???????
I am a mother of 8,grandmother of 4, I have set up corporations,LLC's LTD-PS, created trademarks, copyrights, branding and created a patent- to create my own money.We started out with the Amway Corp as IBO's 1998 and the training system created by International Leadership Development Inc. Jack Daughery of Spokane Washington.
I am Chairman and Co-Founder of the Educational Foundation for the Children of Fiji 501c3
Building a $70 Million Dollar
"ALL GREEN State of the Art" school campus in Fiji.
This school Centre of Excellence will be the flagship of the South Pacific.
The principal, Mr. Apenisa Kurisaqila from the Nadroga Navosa Provincial High school would read a chapter a day to the children during the morning assembly from your books and many other transformational teachers.
They sent me their dream for a new school and the Chief Donated 100 acres of his own property to be for all the children of Fiji and the world. The Chief owns Tavarua and the property that the Shangri-La Fijian Resort is on as well.
The Chief believes in empowering his children (future students of the Centre of Excellence)with the financial education you have outlined and we are creating a place to make that happen.
I am surrounding myself with gifted people, like the master plan architect Mr. Jocelyn Mackay Calabasa Cal.who on a hand shake said "I'll help you build the new school" and others like him who have joined me in the vision of helping over 10,000 students in Fiji and many more here in the US for the future exchange program.
We are working towards the vision of the Ministry of Education and would like to have many more copies of the Cashflow game available to the students preschool-adults.
I gave them the 3 I purchased and played over and over with my children. I am looking for mentors who see that that by my actions I am applying the principles with integrity to serve the most people with their high good in mind and with the least amount negative outcome.
This school is a huge barnraising effort, everyone will participate in building the new school. and then the children will say "my dad built that!", my grandmother did that!", my brother and sister built that!".
We will have aan Olympic Training Center, Business, Marketing and Enterpeneural program as well as the Professional, Vocational and AG programs.
We are creating product lines for the market place. We have met with Bob Circosta and the Homeshopping network in Tampa Fl. about some of the productlines to be marketed via TV and the internet.
Our Impact from Social Networking is to provide clean water,food, education, Micro-loans and an International Market Place for products.
In the near future we also are planning on having the Pasadena Art Center Sr. transportation students to be participating in a competion to design a eco friendly train to replace the old sugar cane rail way system.
It will provide a market for their own sugar cane via fuel and public transportation system for the students and local people during the day and product and services during the night. From Nadi to the interior over 80 kilometers away.
It was from the dreams of the children to be more than they ever thought they could be.
We all want to say Thank you Robert.
Has your book touched our lives YES it has.
I hope you are proud of all of us. As a teacher seeing your students using real life applications of what you have taught
is most rewarding I'm sure you'll agree because we are a homeschool family. Respectfully yours, Carol Wachniak

Thank you Robert & Kim!!
Out of the MANY very important books that you've written, 'CONSPIRACY ...' is your most important work! Thank you for exposing the financial futility that most people face (People as Plankton!)
Perhaps the best thing about this are the POSITIVE SOLUTIONS that you share. It's totally futile to fight these 'international bankers', the Fed & our own politicians! But it does make sense to 'catch their wave', so that we are insulated and protected from inflation, taxes and their false promises.
Conspiracy of the Rich is your Magnum Opus!
Thanks again!
Dave & Lisa
that you and your team created such a wonderful product online and offered it for free to the whole world. The book project has been an excellent experience for me and opened my eyes in many ways. Thanks again for all the inspiration and your fearless attitude.
One lesson it has taught me is that speculation has no boundaries and that selling it as a dream can really move people.
Hi Robert
I would like to take this opportunnity to thank you for having the courage to write and publish this book.
I have read most of your back catalogue, and find this latest , Conspiracy of the Rich, to be very educational and though provoking.
I am an American, ex-US Marine, as well, and have been living and working in business in the UK & across Europe now for 16 years.
I am also in the process of writting a novel, based on Conspiracies in the Corporate and Business World, watch this space......
I came across an article in the Financial Times weekend paper (this weekend) titled "Banks renege on financial education"..... I wonder why?
You can read this short article by clicking on below link , I thought you may find it of interest as it is dramatic evidence of what you have been teaching all along.
