How to get rich in American history : 300 years of financial advice that worked (& didn't) /

Moore, Joseph S. (Joseph Solomon), 1977-,


Introduction: go ahead! -- Your money and American history. Getting ahead is easier than ever ; Fast time, slow time ; Crypto isn't the future, it's the past ; Financial advice: inflation's oops baby ; Gurus are selling something, you should buy ; Your net worth is wrong (so I made myself a billionaire) -- Investing then and now. The next big thing is a bad idea ; Compound interest and passive income are overrated ; Diversification won't make you rich ; You can beat the market, you probably shouldn't ; Women were always active investors ; Stocks used to be bad for the long run -- Financial freedom the American way. Financial independence isn't what you think ; Real estate is a terrible way to make money ; House hacks and side hustles before Uber and Airbnb ; Yes, people retired before social security ; Immigrants make the best capitalists ; Scams: the Nigerian prince is actually from Spain -- The Feds and the family. Budgets are new, hating them isn't ; Debt isn't (necessarily) dumb ; The government was always involved ; Going broke is better than ever ; Marriage (and dual incomes) mattered... a lot ; Generational wealth doesn't last long -- It's getting better, much, much better. People really did get ahead, and you can, too -- Conclusion: the real lessons of financial history. "A collection of fascinating stories, folklore, and claims about money and personal finance throughout American history that shows both the vast changes in beliefs over time as well as the truths that remain timeless"-- Provided by publisher. "In richly told stories and wild self-experiments, historian Joseph Moore tests history's best and worst financial advice to find what worked, what didn't, and why everyday people can still get ahead--including you. What if so-called timeless beliefs about money like "invest for the long run," "compound interest builds wealth," and "real estate always goes up" were shockingly new . . . and rarely true. From Benjamin Franklin to TikTok gurus, what "everyone knows" about personal finance has rarely stayed the same. Parents once taught children not to save and that stocks were only for suckers. Meanwhile, supposedly new phenomenon like Airbnb, crypto, skipping lattes, and complaints that nobody can get ahead are far older than we think. In How to Get Rich in American History, Joseph Moore shares the unexpected and counterintuitive lessons of the past--from the scams we keep falling for to the long allure of creating generational wealth--so we can avoid the same mistakes and make the most of our own finances today. Along the way, Moore tries these old ideas on himself, with hair-raising and hilarious results. His personal journey includes wild investments, get-rich-quick schemes, founding a cryptocurrency, and how he went from his working-class roots and facing financial ruin to retiring in his forties. Ultimately, Moore finds that despite today's loud pessimists, success has never been easier to achieve in American history than it is right now." -- Jacket flap.

Fathom Fall

Cerilli, Matteo L.,


"The Maze Runner meets Fortnite in this action-packed young YA about a boy who finds out the monsters from his favorite video game are real. They came for our water, but they'll settle for your blood. On Fathom Fall's leaderboard, player Wyatt "DoctorDoctor" Docherty ranks at number three. In real life, he's seen only as the privileged kid of head engineers at Hydrexo, the company that supplies 75% of North America's water. He has easy access while others must line up to pay exorbitant prices at public water taps, and he feels totally useless. To prove he's more than a spoiled Water Baby, Wyatt wants to win the upcoming Fathom Fall competition and finally make a name for himself. But when he starts seeing Bluddites--the water-guzzling monsters from the game--in real life, Wyatt suspects that the tournament is about more than just prize money. Wyatt wants to win, but as the tournament approaches, he starts to worry: Why won't anyone tell them what's really going on? Why would the game--the military, even--be training kids to hunt monsters for them? And how far is he willing to go to prove himself? Set in a near-future, water-scarce Toronto, Fathom Fall is a high-octane speculative thrill ride that questions the ethics of new technology and how it defines our very reality."--

Revolution in our time : the Black Panther Party's promise to the people /

Magoon, Kekla,


"In this comprehensive, inspiring, and all-too-relevant history of the Black Panther Party, Kekla Magoon introduces readers to the Panthers' community activism, grounded in the concept of self-defense, which taught Black Americans how to protect and support themselves in a country that treated them like second-class citizens. For too long the Panthers' story has been a footnote to the civil rights movement rather than what it was: a revolutionary socialist movement that drew thousands of members--mostly women--and became the target of one of the most sustained repression efforts ever made by the U.S. government against its own citizens. Revolution in Our Time puts the Panthers in the proper context of Black American history, from the first arrival of enslaved people to the Black Lives Matter movement of today. Kekla Magoon's eye-opening work invites a new generation of readers grappling with injustices in the United States to learn from the Panthers' history and courage, inspiring them to take their own place in the ongoing fight for justice." -- from inside front dust jacket.
