"Discover how the superwealthy made it to the top (and you can too!) From the richest Romans to the robber barons to today's bankers and tech billionaires, Sam Wilkin offers Freakonomics-esque insights into what it really takes to make a fortune. These stories of larger-than-life characters, strategies, and sacrifices reveal how the wealthiest did it, usually by a passion for finding loopholes, working around bureaucratic systems, and creating obstacles to competitors. Wealth secrets of the one percent gets at the heart of our feelings about the 1% of top income earners and the roughly 0.0001% who achieve billionaire status: we love to hate them, but we'd love to be them. Wilkin's insight into the sources of wealth is thought-provoking and rigorous, and he reveals that behind almost every great fortune is a "wealth secret"--a moneymaking technique designed to defeat the forces of market competition" --… (altro)

▾Recensioni di utenti

One reviewer described the book as an “Intentionally misleading title for a history book.” But the problem isn’t in the title alone, it runs through the entire book. Even as a history book, (it has fact-checking defects), even as a history book, it lacks focus, structure, direction, and gives little actionable insight (neither to organizations nor people). Even the little insight it gives is saved to the very end of the book. So many flaws...and still...it’s irredeemable flaw, is that it uses bad examples from history to tell the reader what more than 99% of people probably already know. It’s hard to be critical enough of books like this, and hard not to suspect people who produce them.
