The book "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" by Robert T. Kiyosaki is a semi-autobiographical short story that narrates the author's financial learning journey, contrasting the perspectives and attitudes about money of his biological father, a school teacher, with those of his friend's father, a successful entrepreneur. Through a series of episodes and anecdotes, Kiyosaki exposes the fundamental concepts of financial intelligence, emphasizing the importance of investing in assets that generate income, as opposed to liabilities that drain resources. The text criticizes the traditional educational system for not preparing people for financial management and the consequences of the lack of financial knowledge in perpetuating poverty and the middle class. The work, therefore, aims to awaken the reader to the need to develop their financial intelligence, build a positive cash flow and achieve financial freedom. Kiyosaki argues that wealth is not related to hard work, but rather to the ability to control money, invest in assets and have an entrepreneurial mindset.
