the Global Financial Emergency

Please read:
We are going to give you information that most of the world does not have access to.
What is done with that information is up to you, but it must be used responsibly.

You will often hear the phrase “this is not financial advice”. In fact, it is said so often that
it gets ignored entirely. It should not be ignored.

This is not financial advice.

You may be asking, “what does that mean?”

Let me explain…
Do not just do what I, my team or my guest says. That would be stupid and
irresponsible. Take the education, then use your own brain and make your own
decisions.

YOU must take responsibility for your future and your success. That is why you are
here. Neither I, or my team, or my guests, know your risk levels, prior education,
emotional maturity or how much money you can afford to lose.

We are only telling you what we believe to be smart moves. But you must decide for
yourself. There are NEVER guarantees.

Also understand that we are REAL teachers. We practice what we preach. With that in
mind we often invest in the very projects that may be mentioned in this newsletter. While
it is never our intent, we could possibly profit from others investing in our
recommendations.

Take the education we provide but then determine your own actions. If it does not make
sense to you, get more education before you invest. We will continue to provide
education and there will always be more opportunities.

Here is the reality, we do not know you as an individual. We do not know your level of
financial education. We do not know your risk levels. Possibly most important, we do not
know emotional IQ, including how well you handle a win or a loss.

We always say, “knowledge is power” and that is true, but power can be used for good
and for bad. If knowledge pushes you to take an action outside your risk tolerance, then
it is a dangerous thing. When knowledge is used to help make decisions within your
investing plan, there can be nothing more powerful. How you use the knowledge we
share is up to you.

Emerge Richer: Surviving and Thriving in
the Global Financial Emergency
Robert Kiyosaki

Introduction: Global Emergency

The world is in a state of emergency. Not the kind where you hear sirens in the distance
or see flashing red lights in your neighborhood, but a deeper, quieter emergency that
touches every bank account, every pension fund, every savings plan, and every
paycheck. It’s the kind of emergency that creeps up slowly, like water rising in a flood,
until suddenly you realize you’re drowning.

For decades, I’ve been warning about this moment. I’ve written about it in Rich Dad’s
Prophecy, I’ve spoken about it in countless interviews, and I’ve taught it through my
books and board games. The truth is simple: our financial system is broken, and the
cracks are now too big to ignore. The biggest stock market crash in history isn’t some
far-off possibility. It’s here today. The banks know it. The governments know it. And
soon, if you haven’t already felt it, you will too.

This emergency isn’t only about money. It’s also ideological. It’s about a global drift
away from capitalism and toward systems of thought that punish success and reward
dependency. Schools no longer teach financial literacy; instead, they teach conformity.
Politicians no longer serve the people; they serve the debt machine. Central banks no
longer stabilize economies; they inflate bubbles bigger and bigger until collapse is
unavoidable.

But in every emergency, there is a choice. The word itself reveals it: “emergency”
contains the word “emerge.” You can emerge from this crisis weaker, poorer, and
more dependent on a system that is already collapsing, or you can emerge smarter,
stronger, and richer by embracing the lessons of capitalism.

This report is my attempt to sound the alarm once more. My hope is that you will not
only hear the warning but also take action. Because time is running out.

Early Influence: Military School & The Communist Manifesto

In 1965, I was eighteen years old when I left Hawaii and traveled to New York to attend
military school. Most of my classmates were preparing for leadership in the Marine
Corps, the Navy, or the Army. Military school was not like the universities many people
admire today. It was not a place where students debated abstract theories or chased
fashionable causes. At military school, our training was practical, disciplined, and rooted
in strategy. We were expected to study the systems that shaped nations, both
economically and politically.

That is where I first encountered The Communist Manifesto, a book written in 1848 by
Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. The book is short, only about fifty pages, but its ideas
have shaken the world for generations. At eighteen, reading it was like holding a
flashlight in a dark room. It exposed a worldview completely different from what I had
been raised to believe. Communism was not presented as a set of policies. It was more
like a religion, a belief system that promised equality while demanding the sacrifice of
individual ambition and private property.

That early encounter stayed with me. Later, when I looked at my own family and
community, I realized many of them were unknowingly living by communist values. They
believed in working for security rather than freedom. They depended on pensions,
government programs, and institutions that promised protection but never taught
independence. This realization marked the beginning of my lifelong mission to defend
capitalism as the true path to wealth and freedom.

Historical Roots of Communism in America

When I studied The Communist Manifesto in military school, one of the most striking
warnings came from history itself. Marx and Engels were not writing for their own
century alone. They were writing for the future. Their ideas did not remain confined to
Europe. They spread like wildfire and eventually took root in the United States, not
through violent revolution, but through the quiet halls of academia.

In the 1930s, members of what was known as the Frankfurt School fled Nazi Germany
and arrived in America. Many of them settled at Columbia University in New York. On
the surface, they were intellectuals, professors, and researchers. In reality, they carried
with them a new way of thinking that challenged capitalism at its core. They introduced
ideas of cultural Marxism, which gradually spread through American universities. These
professors trained the next generation of teachers, who in turn trained millions of

4
students. It was a slow process, but like a steady drip of water, it eventually reshaped
the foundation of American education.

By the time I returned from Vietnam in the 1970s, I could see the effects firsthand.
Students were rioting. Teachers were openly hostile to veterans. They no longer saw
the military as a protector of freedom but as a symbol of oppression. When I was spit on
by students who called us “baby killers,” I realized that the ideological seeds planted in
the 1930s had grown into full-blown cultural beliefs.

Communism had entered American life not as an outright declaration, but as small
doses of socialism, hidden inside academic programs and policies. Over time, those
small doses accumulated. Today, we see them in the language of equality at all costs, in
the dependence on government programs, and in the belief that private property is a
privilege rather than a right. This was not an accident. It was the slow and deliberate
result of decades of ideological influence.

Marxism in Education

The most dangerous battlefield is not in the skies over Vietnam or in the oil fields of the
Middle East. It is the classroom. While bombs and bullets may win wars in the short
term, ideas are what shape nations for generations. That is why education has always
been the prime target of communist ideology.

When the professors of the Frankfurt School embedded themselves in American


universities, they did more than teach philosophy. They reshaped the way teachers
approached their work. Over decades, the message shifted. Schools no longer taught
students how to think independently. Instead, they taught obedience, conformity, and
dependence on systems that promised security. The result was a generation after
generation that believed in working for grades, working for pensions, and working for
approval, rather than working for freedom.

My own family reflected this divide. My poor dad, a good man with advanced degrees,
believed deeply in the education system. He earned a PhD and held the highest
position in Hawaii’s Department of Education. Yet despite his intelligence and
achievements, he was financially insecure. He believed in the system of pensions and
government safety nets, unaware that those very systems were fragile and
underfunded. He trusted an ideology of dependency.

My rich dad, in contrast, was a capitalist. He never finished school, but he understood
that true education came from experience, mistakes, and the pursuit of financial
intelligence. He taught me to study money, to create assets, and to play games like

5
Monopoly as a way to learn capitalism. He knew that financial independence was a
lesson no school would ever teach.

Today, we see the full weight of Marxism in education. Children graduate from school
unable to balance a checkbook, but confident in slogans about equality. They are taught
that the rich are greedy, that private property is unfair, and that wealth should be
distributed rather than created. None of these ideas prepare them to face the real
economy. Instead, they prepare them to accept dependency as normal.

This is why I call it an emergency. Our schools are not failing by accident. They are
failing by design. And the price of that failure is being paid by every graduate who
enters the world financially unprepared.

Capitalism vs. Communism

At the heart of today’s financial emergency is a clash between two competing


worldviews: capitalism and communism. These are not simply economic systems. They
are belief systems. They shape how people see money, success, and responsibility.

Communism teaches that wealth should be redistributed. It preaches that the rich are
greedy and that private property should be abolished. On the surface, this sounds
compassionate. Who wouldn’t want to live in a world where everyone is taken care of
equally? But beneath the surface lies the fatal flaw. By promising equality, communism
punishes initiative. By abolishing private property, it removes responsibility. And by
labeling the rich as villains, it discourages the very skills that create prosperity for all.

Capitalism, by contrast, rewards initiative. It allows individuals to create assets, to take


risks, and to reap the rewards of their vision and effort. It is not perfect. There will
always be inequality in a capitalist system. But inequality of results is not the same as
inequality of opportunity. In capitalism, anyone with the willingness to learn and the
courage to act can rise.

I have lived both philosophies. My poor dad believed in the ideals of education, security,
and pensions. He worked hard, trusted the system, and hoped it would take care of him.
My rich dad believed in capitalism. He taught me that true security comes not from
government promises, but from the ability to create value and assets that endure.

This is why I call communism and socialism “economic religions.” People follow them
with blind faith. They believe the slogans. They repeat the promises. But in the end,
those promises collapse under their own weight.

6
Capitalism, on the other hand, has proven itself over and over. It is the system that
creates wealth, innovation, and opportunity. And in times of crisis, it is capitalism, not
communism, that offers the chance to emerge richer and stronger.

Rich Dad Poor Dad & Capitalist Tools

When I realized that schools would never teach true financial education, I knew I had to
create tools that could. That was the inspiration behind Rich Dad Poor Dad, which I
published in 1997. The book was not just a story of two fathers. It was a blueprint for
breaking free of the economic religion of dependency and stepping into the mindset of a
capitalist. It challenged the idea that going to school, getting good grades, and working
for a pension was the path to security. Instead, it taught the difference between assets
and liabilities, and how the rich build wealth by focusing on cash flow rather than
salaries.

A year earlier, in 1996, I created the CASHFLOW board game. This game was
designed as a classroom in a box, a way for people to learn capitalism through play.
While schools were teaching students to memorize facts and obey rules, the
CASHFLOW game was teaching people to read financial statements, make investment
decisions, and experience the thrill of escaping the rat race. It was my way of giving
people the education I had received from my rich dad, but in a format that anyone,
anywhere in the world, could access.

Later, I wrote Capitalist Manifesto to make the case even more directly. If communism is
an economic religion, then capitalism must be defended like a faith worth fighting for.
These books and tools were never just products. They were weapons in the larger
battle of ideas. Because the truth is this: the way you fight communism is with
capitalism. And in today’s emergency, people need every tool they can get to defend
their wealth, their freedom, and their future.

2013 Prophecy Fulfilled

In 2013, I released a book called Rich Dad’s Prophecy. The subtitle was clear: Why the
Biggest Stock Market Crash in History is Still Coming and How You Can Prepare for It.
At the time, many dismissed the warning. The markets were climbing, the Federal
Reserve was pumping liquidity into the system, and most people believed the
government had everything under control. The mainstream narrative was that the 2008
crisis had been solved, that the banks had been stabilized, and that prosperity had
returned.

7
But I knew better. What happened in 2008 was not a solution. It was a temporary patch
on a broken foundation. Instead of addressing the root cause of the crisis, the
government simply printed money, bailed out the banks, and doubled down on debt. It
was like trying to fix a leaking roof by painting over the water stains. The real problem
only grew worse with time.

That is why I said the biggest stock market crash in history was still coming. And now, a
decade later, it is here. We are watching the cracks widen in real time. Banks are laying
off workers. Loan applications are drying up. The housing market is slowing down, just
as it did in 2008, but with even more severe consequences because the system is more
fragile now than it was then. Stock market volatility is shaking investor confidence, and
trillions in unfunded liabilities are coming due.

This is not a prediction anymore. It is reality. The crash is no longer on the horizon. It is
here. And the scale is global. Because of globalization and interconnected markets,
what begins in America spreads quickly to Europe, Asia, and beyond.

For years, critics accused me of being alarmist. They said I was too negative, too
contrarian, too willing to challenge the comforting stories told by politicians and bankers.
Yet here we are. The very emergency I warned about is unfolding before our eyes.

If you want proof, look no further than your own grocery bill, your energy costs, or your
retirement account. Inflation is stealing purchasing power. Rising interest rates are
strangling real estate. Pension funds are wobbling. These are not signs of stability. They
are signs of collapse.

The reason I sounded the alarm in 2013 was not to scare people, but to prepare them.
Those who listened have had a decade to get ready. Those who did not are now facing
the consequences.

2008 Crisis Mismanagement

The financial crisis of 2008 should have been a turning point. It was the moment when
the entire world was forced to face the truth that our system was unstable,
overleveraged, and drowning in debt. Housing prices collapsed. Banks failed. Millions of
people lost their jobs, their homes, and their savings. It was the closest thing to a
wake-up call the modern financial system had ever received.

But instead of listening, the people in power hit the snooze button. Rather than fix the
broken system, governments and central banks doubled down on the very policies that
caused the collapse in the first place. They printed trillions of dollars, slashed interest

8
rates to near zero, and bailed out the institutions that had taken the biggest risks. In
other words, they rewarded failure and punished ordinary savers.

This is what I mean when I say the problem was never solved. When debt is used to
pay off debt, the system does not become stronger. It becomes weaker. The United
States, for example, is now buried under more than thirty trillion dollars of government
debt. That is a number so large that most people cannot even comprehend it. Yet
politicians continue to promise new spending programs and new benefits as if money is
unlimited.

Real estate is an example of how this mismanagement continues to echo. In 2008, the
housing crash nearly brought the global economy to its knees. You would think lessons
would have been learned. Instead, interest rates were kept artificially low for years,
fueling another bubble. Investors piled into properties, driving prices to unsustainable
levels. Now, as rates rise, the cracks are once again showing. A real estate crash is not
just a housing issue. It is a sinkhole that pulls everything else down with it.

The stock market tells the same story. Trillions of dollars in stimulus created the illusion
of prosperity. Asset prices soared, but the growth was not real. It was manufactured by
money-printing, not by productive innovation. Now, as liquidity drains from the system,
the artificial prosperity is evaporating.

2008 was the warning shot. The decisions made afterward turned a severe crisis into a
global emergency. And today, we are living through the consequences of that
mismanagement. The bubble is bigger, the stakes are higher, and the fallout will reach
further than ever before.

Pension Theft & Collapse

If there is one issue that keeps me awake at night, it is the collapse of pensions. For
decades, pensions were sold to the public as a guarantee. Work hard, put in your years,
and when you retire, the system will take care of you. That promise has been broken.

I saw it happen to many of my own friends. After serving in the Marine Corps, some of
them became pilots for major airlines. They believed their pensions were safe. They
were told that after decades of flying, they would have secure retirements. But when the
airline industry went through financial trouble, those pensions were gutted. Years of
service vanished overnight, leaving them scrambling.

This is not just an airline problem. It is everywhere. The largest pension fund in the
United States, CalPERS in California, is effectively broke. Millions of teachers, like my
poor dad, who dedicated their lives to education, are counting on pensions that will not

9
be there. The tragedy is that they do not even know it yet. They believe in a system that
is already collapsing beneath them.

My co-author and friend Ted Siedle has called this “the greatest theft in history.” And he
is right. Pensions are being drained by Wall Street fees, mismanagement, and
corruption. Politicians make promises they cannot keep. Bureaucrats sign off on
unrealistic projections. Meanwhile, workers who trusted the system are left holding an
empty bag.

This is why I say pensions are not just a financial issue. They are a moral one. Millions
of people were trained by the education system to depend on pensions instead of
building assets. They were told that following the rules, getting good grades, and
working hard for decades would guarantee security. Now, the very institutions that
taught them to depend on the system are watching silently as that system collapses.

The bigger picture is even more alarming. When pensions fail, it does not affect only
retirees. It ripples through the entire economy. Retirees who were supposed to be
financially secure suddenly cut back on spending. Families who relied on that support
are left without it. Communities that counted on steady streams of retirement income
feel the squeeze. Multiply this by millions, and you can see how the pension crisis could
become the next great financial disaster.

This is why I keep telling people: do not depend on pensions, 401(k)s, or any
government promises. If your financial plan relies on someone else to take care of you,
you are in danger. The system is not only fragile, it is corrupt. And when it breaks, it will
not be the politicians or Wall Street bankers who suffer. It will be the teachers, the airline
pilots, the firefighters, the workers - the people who trusted the system the most.

That is why I consider pensions the greatest ticking time bomb in our financial system.
And when it goes off, it will shake the world.

Inflation & Real Assets

If pensions are the time bomb, then inflation is the slow leak that drains people’s wealth
without them realizing it. Inflation is called the “silent tax” for a reason. It does not arrive
with a bill in the mail. It creeps into your grocery cart, your gas tank, and your utility bill.
By the time you notice it, the damage is already done.

Over the last few years, inflation has surged at levels not seen in decades. Food prices
are higher. Energy costs are rising. Rent is becoming unaffordable for millions. And yet,
many politicians and economists try to downplay it. They change the definitions, shift

10
the measurements, and insist that everything is under control. That is not the truth. The
truth is that inflation is destroying the savings and retirement plans of the middle class.

Cash is no longer safe. When inflation is at five, seven, or even ten percent, your
savings account is shrinking every day. A hundred dollars in the bank today buys less
next year, and even less the year after that. People who cling to cash or paper assets
are watching their wealth evaporate in slow motion.

The only protection against this silent tax is ownership of real assets. Real assets are
things the world cannot do without. Oil, gold, silver, real estate, cattle, farmland. These
are not pieces of paper. They are tangible, they have intrinsic value, and they are tied to
the necessities of life. When the dollar loses value, real assets rise in price because
they remain essential.

I have always been clear about my own choices. I own oil wells, not oil stocks. I own
apartment houses, not shares in real estate investment trusts. I own cattle and breeding
bulls, not shares in a meat company. Why? Because real wealth lies in control of the
asset itself, not in betting on someone else to manage it.

Gold and silver are perhaps the most timeless examples. For thousands of years, they
have been money. When governments print paper currency without limit, gold and silver
stand as a check against that abuse. They cannot be created out of thin air. That is why
central banks themselves hoard them, even while telling the public not to.

If you want to survive this emergency, you must think like a capitalist. Protect yourself
with real assets. Cash will burn. Paper promises will break. But oil, land, gold, silver,
and food will always have value. Inflation punishes those who save in dollars. It rewards
those who save in things the world truly needs.

Practical Capitalist Investments

One of the greatest myths about capitalism is that it only benefits the few. In reality,
capitalism is open to anyone willing to think differently and take action. The key is to
stop depending on paper promises and start building real, tangible wealth. That is what I
do, and it is what I encourage others to learn.

I do not buy stocks. That surprises people, because stocks are what most financial
advisors promote. But to me, stocks are still paper assets. They rise and fall on market
emotions, management decisions, and government manipulation. I prefer to own the
asset itself, not a share in someone else’s business.

11
Take oil as an example. I once worked for Standard Oil, but I do not own their stock.
Instead, I invest in oil wells. When people fill their gas tanks, I make money. Oil is
essential to transportation, farming, and food production. As long as the world needs
energy, oil wells produce cash flow. That is capitalism in action.

The same principle applies to food. Rather than betting on grocery companies or fast
food chains, I own cattle. Specifically, I invest in breeding bulls. Every time that bull
produces sperm, it creates new calves, which can be sold for profit. It sounds unusual,
but it is the essence of capitalism. A single bull can generate streams of income for
years. And while the poor settle for cheap hamburger, the wealthy always demand
high-quality beef. That demand creates a premium market that I am more than happy to
serve.

Real estate is another cornerstone of my portfolio. Apartment houses, hotels, and


commercial properties generate income whether markets are rising or falling. People
will always need a place to live. By using debt wisely, I can acquire properties that pay
for themselves, while also funding other luxuries in my life. For example, I bought a
Ferrari, but I did not pay for it out of my salary. I bought an apartment building, and the
cash flow from that building bought the car. That is the difference between a liability and
an asset.

These examples are not about showing off. They are about demonstrating how
capitalism works in the real world. The principle is simple. Own assets that provide cash
flow. Assets tied to what people cannot live without. Energy, food, shelter. If you can
control those, you are protected no matter how unstable the financial system becomes.

This is why I say the rich are getting richer. They are not depending on pensions or
401(k)s. They are not trusting politicians to save them. They are investing in real assets
that keep producing income even during a crash. That is how you fight communism.
That is how you fight inflation. That is how you protect your wealth before it is too late.

Emergency as Opportunity

The word “emergency” frightens people. It suggests disaster, chaos, and loss. But
hidden inside that word is another: “emerge.” Every emergency contains within it the
possibility of emergence, of coming out on the other side stronger, smarter, and richer.

When people hear my warnings about stock market crashes, pension failures, or
inflation, some react with fear. They freeze. They hope the government will fix it. They
cling to the illusion that somehow everything will go back to normal. That is the worst
response you can have in an emergency. Hope is not a strategy. Fear is not a plan.

12
Capitalists see it differently. They see an emergency as a time when old systems
collapse and new opportunities appear. When one bubble bursts, another door opens.
When one institution fails, another rises to take its place. The trick is to be prepared, to
have the skills and mindset to move when others are paralyzed.

History proves this point. In every major downturn, a new class of wealth-builders
emerges. After the Great Depression, new industries and fortunes were born. After the
crash of 2008, entrepreneurs who understood real estate and cash flow opportunities
built empires while others filed for bankruptcy. The same is true today.

This is why I tell people not to despair. Yes, we are in a serious financial emergency.
Yes, pensions are collapsing, inflation is rising, and markets are unstable. But if you
choose to study capitalism, build your financial intelligence, and focus on acquiring real
assets, you will not just survive. You will thrive.

The poor will wait for rescue. The middle class will cling to pensions and paper
promises. The rich will emerge smarter and stronger because they see the emergency
for what it truly is: the greatest transfer of wealth in history. The only question is which
side of that transfer you will be on.

Choose Your Teachers Carefully

In every stage of my life, the most valuable asset I have had is not money or property. It
is the quality of my teachers. Your teachers shape the way you see the world. They
determine whether you think like a capitalist or like a dependent. That is why choosing
your teachers carefully is one of the most important decisions you will ever make.

My poor dad was one of my first teachers. He was highly educated, a PhD, and head of
education for the state of Hawaii. He was a good man, but his teachings about money
were shaped by Marxist ideals. He believed the rich were greedy. He believed pensions
would provide security. He believed private property was selfish. None of those ideas
led to wealth or freedom. They led to dependency.

My rich dad, on the other hand, taught me the lessons schools never will. He showed
me how to use debt wisely, how to create cash flow from assets, and how to measure
wealth with a financial statement instead of a paycheck. He taught me that capitalism is
not about greed, but about creating value. Those lessons changed my life.

Today, too many people are still following the wrong teachers. They listen to politicians
who promise free benefits. They listen to financial advisors who sell paper assets. They

13
listen to professors who tell them success is unfair. Then they wonder why they struggle
financially.

The first step in protecting your wealth is to examine who is teaching you. If your
teacher is broke, stop listening. If your teacher despises capitalism, stop following. Your
brain is your most valuable asset. Guard it by choosing teachers who understand
money, freedom, and wealth creation.

Teamwork over Isolation

One of the greatest lies taught in school is that success is an individual pursuit. From
the first day of class, students are told to work alone. If they ask for help, it is called
cheating. Grades become the measure of intelligence, and collaboration is discouraged.
This is the exact opposite of how success works in the real world.

In the Marine Corps, I learned the value of teamwork. When we flew into combat, we
never flew alone. Each gunship had pilots, gunners, and crew chiefs. And we flew
alongside other aircraft, covering one another, fighting as a unit. Teamwork was not
optional. It was the difference between life and death. That lesson stayed with me long
after I left the military.

In business and investing, the principle is the same. Capitalism is a team sport. I have
bookkeepers who manage the numbers, attorneys who protect my assets, accountants
who keep my records clean, and advisors who challenge my decisions. I surround
myself with people who are smarter than me in their areas of expertise. That is why I
win.

Contrast that with my poor dad’s approach. He believed that because he was an “A
student,” he did not need help. He relied on his own intelligence and his own
credentials. But intelligence alone does not build wealth. Collaboration does. Financial
success requires a team.

The truth is simple. In a time of financial emergency, you cannot do it alone. You need
partners, mentors, and allies who understand capitalism and believe in creating wealth.
Build your team wisely, and you will not only survive this crisis. You will thrive in it.
