The Billionaires’ Handbook: A User’s Guide to Wealth and Power by Andrew Stevenson is a non-fiction book that seeks to educate inquisitive individuals on how the global economy works. The author has a career working as a macro hedge fund portfolio manager, investment banker, and climate risk advisor. This book gives readers the reasons why previous methods of making money failed. It also gives readers rules on how to get rich. The book then goes further to explain how the super-rich do not break rules because they make them. He further explained how the rich not only get richer, but they apply needed strategies to ensure they remain in the 1% faction for centuries.

The book got my unparalleled attention from the way it was introduced. It made me feel like I was at a meeting with the author, Andrew. He took the time to take readers many years back to how people made money around the 1500s. This book started with a brief history of how the world economy advanced in different stages. It started from mercantilism, also called feudalism, to capitalism, and then to cynicism. I loved the fact that he explained the way each economy worked as well as their advantages and shortcomings. I was pleased to learn about the reasons capitalism failed and cynicism still thrives.

I completely loved this book because I have read countless handbooks about money-making that didn’t explain their ideas like ” The Billionaires’ Handbook.” It expanded my knowledge in terms of finance. His ideas were concise and revealing. Reading through the rules detailed in this book, it pulled me into a make-belief reality with endless possibilities that I previously thought not achievable. The message embedded in its pages has the ability to subdue a reader's naivety. I always had a dream to be rich, and this book further enlightened me on the mistakes I made previously.

The colorful illustration attached to each page helped me relate better with his ideas. I could better picture the message he was trying to disseminate. It helped me to better understand the information passed across.

There was nothing to dislike about “The Billionaires’ Handbook: A User’s Guide to Wealth and Power“, and I recorded only one error while reading. This really made me become one with the book. I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars because it elaborated on a little business idea I was initially scared to execute. I recommend this book for entrepreneurs, lovers of non-fiction, and people interested in politics. Thank me later.
