Why the Rich Are Getting Richer

Why the Rich Are Getting Richer is a personal finance book by Robert T. Kiyosaki. It builds on ideas he introduced in Rich Dad Poor Dad and presents his view on how education relates to financial outcomes. Synopsis Kiyosaki argues that the education system contributes to the widening gap between the rich and everyone else. He sets out why, in his view, this gap continues to grow and explains his position on saving, debt and taxation. The book also challenges what it describes as traditional financial advice, including going to school, working hard, saving money, buying a house, getting out of debt, and investing for the long term in the stock market. Kiyosaki further discusses why he believes real financial education may never be taught in schools, and shares conclusions from his long-running question: “When will we learn about money?”
