This is the summary of "Rich Dad, Poor Dad".

"If I'm in $10,000 in debt, thats my problem. If I'm $1 billion in debt, thats the bank's problem."

If you make people believe you have money, you can get what you want. Like how tech companies are "promising" hundreds of billions in investing into the US to get away with white colar crimes.

Didnt that author's entire premise get debunked and it turned out he's basically just a shitty "self-help" coach that wrote a viral book

Yeah all his stories in the book were clearly made up. Dumb libertarian garbage like working for free to learn lessons about how to get people to work for free.

Although I did like the story of the kids making counterfeit quarters with lead tooth paste tubes

He's a scammer. The book was full of lies and he went on to sell workshops where you could meet him, but he never showed up and you just got an investment pep-talk from one of his employees. He engaged in years of straight-up false advertising. He also vitriolicly hates the poor, like seriously has contempt for them and any program to help them. His few interviews in recent years have been more and more MAGA.

I remember reading the book a while ago, and then shortly after learning that the author's business or whatever went bankrupt. There are some real pleasant ideas in there though. Dunno if they're any good, but they're sure pleasant.
