Through contrasting the financial teachings of his “rich dad” and “poor dad,” Kiyosaki illustrates the different mindsets that drive wealth accumulation. He argues that traditional education often fails to equip individuals with the necessary skills to manage their finances effectively, leading to a lifetime of financial struggle. Though sometimes controversial, it is still a valuable piece to read.
