He does do a lot of shameless self plugs to his other books and materials – and in terms of investing, he is very conservative – overall though, it’s a nice primer and an easy read for people looking to understand financial economics (sic).

Vinny,

Do you really think that Rich Dad’s Prophecy is worth buying?

I jotted down the title & info thinking perhaps I’d search for the book at the Library but after a glimpse of a couple of pages available through Amazon (thanks for the link), the book looks like a “New Age style economics book with a lot of fluffy filler” IMHO. There might be a few tips in the book that are worthwhile and I might still track it down at the library.

I got a kick out of some of the Amazon reviews (these can be read if one follows your given link).
H. Buning “harmgb2″ (Texas) said s/he would rather read Suze Orman :D
There were some other entertaining reviews as well.

Library Journal refers to Kiyosaki as a “superhot financial writer” without going into much detail as to why Kiyosaki’s book on this topic is so great.

Read: THE MISSISSIPPI SCHEME
THE SOUTH SEA BUBBLE
THE TULIPOMANIA

Those memoirs have educational value that rings true to the present day.
