FROM THE CRITICS
David R. Henderson - The Wall Street Journal
I never thought it possible that a book could make startling claims about accumulating wealth—lots of it—without sounding hucksterish, trite or simply incredible. But [these two economists] have managed to write one. Getting Rich in America offers eight rules for improving your lot in life. If you follow them all, the authors argue, and don't have a terrible illness or accident...then, at some point between ages 40 and 65, you will be rich.
