About This Book

J. Paul Getty draws on his own experiences of becoming the worlds first generally recognized billionaire to explain money and economics. He does so in a way that is very readable even to the novice. He is surprisingly down to earth and rather philosophical in his discussion of what wealth is, what it means to have wealth and as the title itself states "How to be rich".
