The Billionaires’ Handbook is a historical non-fiction book. It has been edited with symbolic pictures for an adequate understanding. Right from the first few pages of this book, I couldn’t help it but notice the writer’s use of conceptual narrative. The book, carrying only a few pages, is a perfect representation of knowledge and experience.

The Billionaires’ Handbook is an eye-opener to the events and resolutions that have carved the present world we live in. The writer explains how demand triggers the need for adequate supply. He also emphasizes on how a successful adequate supply can lead to the quest for more supplies. A businessman is a game player, a very good one. The writer explains how a businessman, just like an ancient feudal king, makes rules to benefit his goal. In other words, we all are playing a game with the same businessmen who make the rules of the game. Frustrating, isn’t it? As a matter of fact, it feels more like a lost cause. Without sparing any details in clarifying what he meant by, “we replaced the antiquated rules of capitalism with a new set of rules we call cynicism,” the author describes how a group of people, constructively make rules to help them get richer.

This work was put in by Andrew Stevenson, with help from various sources, to publish one of the most detailed books I have ever read. The book was comprehensively narrated, and never lacked real-life references. Andrew’s story appears to be eloquent. As he relates corporate chief executive officers of today, with feudal kings of the past, I begin to realize how self-centred a group of humans can be.

I enjoyed the writer’s use of sarcasm throughout the book. I also loved the way the author switched roles. He started as an antagonist and ended as a protagonist. Andrew’s successful execution of these two opposing roles goes a long way to say that the world today is a product of good and bad decisions. Having read this book, I now see the world very differently.

The clarity of the story, as well as its pictorial form, has prompted me to rate this book a 4 out of 4 stars. There was no point in time where I felt like dropping it or taking a break. The book surpassed every expectation I had. I recommend this book for people who feel concerned about the gap between the rich and the poor. This book is also an exposition for people who may aspire to become or continue on the path of the so-called businessmen and corrupt politicians.

As I have no desire to go on a path of "so-called businessmen and corrupt politicians," I don't think this book is for me. Thanks for your informative review!

Symbolic pictures always help accentuate target themes, and the topic of need-supply-demand will always fuel our society. It’s nice to hear the author was able to introduce some delightful sarcasm too! Lovely review.

The writer proved my stand in this whole mumbo-jumbo competition or struggle, which is
