A sequel to Kiyosaki’s best seller Rich Dad Poor Dad, this book enables readers to perceive how their role in the world of money lends them vis-a-vis the ability to becoming financially free. An insightful expose on those people who work less and earn more, this book is a must have for anyone who cares about money which is everyone. Summary Of The Book The cashflow quadrant is essentially a grid consisting of four quadrants which in this case uses the letters ‘E’, ‘S’, ‘B’ and ‘I.’ Here ‘E’ stands for employee while ‘S’ stands for self-employed. Analogously ‘B’ stands for business owner and ‘I’ stands for investor. Kiyosaki takes this basic quadrant pattern and throws in all the concepts and ideas pertinent to each of the quadrants. By doing this, Kiyosaki achieved a clear vision as to how they related to the phenomena of taxation, incentives and entrepreneurial vision. The debate central to the theme of Rich Dad’s Cashflow Quadrant: Guide To Financial Freedom is the one that pits individuals in a choice between security and freedom and then exhibits the finality of the consequences. Kiyosaki doesn’t stop at this debate since through the book he clarifies a number of other economic circumstances and states outcomes that range from desirable to not so desirable. Rich Dad’s Cashflow Quadrant: Guide To Financial Freedom provides the knowhow on shifting across quadrants and finding a more suitable habitat in terms of making money. The book endorses the evolution from the industrial into the information age and places the areas of interest where potential advantages lie for those willing to take the risk. The incendiary material coupled with Kiyosaki’s incisive statements have rendered this book a treasure chest of knowledge for everyone falling into any of the quadrants. Rich Dad’s Cashflow Quadrant: Guide To Financial Freedom has grown to become a Wall Street Journal bestseller. It promises to deliver on the necessary tools for all individuals to find their freedom financially.  About Robert T.
