Everyone wants ownership, but almost no one gets it. Whether we’re talking about the start-up game, the crypto game, the freelance game, or the lemonade stand game—most paths to ownership lead to dead ends. That’s why Codie Sanchez carved a new, smarter path to total freedom. In Main Street Millionaire, she reveals the method she teaches her community of seven-figure investors for building wealth by creating a portfolio of boring businesses. That’s right—the money is not in flashy startups or in the corner office.

A poke in the eye
Throughout the book I thought: “People, myself included, don’t think or see beyond their noses compared to what I’m hearing. We’re oblivious and quite satisfied with that.” Thomas Sowell’s active way of thinking is an inspiration.

Necessary for unbiased study
I am not always agree with writer with my limited knowledge , but I really enjoy his vast knowledge and great addition to all aspects of Economy.
Entire book is great reading and deeply informative but the section I was connected the most was the section of the book which was referring to Fallacies in Universities and the way current system have been set up in favor of some professors and colleges at cost of others.
Thanks for another great book. Whoever wants to add to his or her knowledge, this is another great book which is must read and have to analyze impartially.

needs to be read by everyone
many things are believed by people who are unfamiliar with the facts and ideas that are presented in this book. believing and ordering our lives around fallacies is one of the reasons many of us are not able to rise above our situation. moreover we end up believing things about others that are not true. we all need to be reading books like this. education is not just reading books a reading the right kind of books with full and correct information

Clear minded, realistic and truthful
Thomas Sowell isn't afraid to expose the world of illusion we create for ourselves simply because we want things to be a certain way contrary to reality.

Every person needs to hear this
If people of all walks of life took the opportunity to read or listen to this book - debates surrounding public policy and economy could much more effectively address problems. Political Correctness has been the ideology to follow and has led to the problems being unresolved for decades. If Political Correctness continues to be followed, those problems will drag on for decades yet.

Easy to understand and well read
No one can listen to this book without having serious doubts about what we are told by so-called experts.
A truly eye opening and well written collection of facts and explanations.
