Rich Dad Poor Dad

Robert Kiyosaki’s classic contrasts the money lessons of two father figures: his own highly educated but cash-strapped “poor dad,” and his friend’s entrepreneurial “rich dad.” The book argues that schools teach us to work for money but never how money works, and champions financial literacy, buying assets that generate income, and knowing the difference between assets and liabilities. Widely debated and occasionally criticised, it remains one of the most influential personal-finance books ever written, especially for beginners.
