Now that there are over 500,000 copies out there in the wild, multiple language translations, etc. this is the thread to let me know that you've read The Millionaire Fastlane.



If you read the book, post here and you will get an icon under your screenname and additional forum privileges.

Feel free to post your comments about the book as well!

Thanks, MJ
Hello!

I am reading the book now. but when I got to Ch 18, I got stuck and re-read it a couple of times before I admitted I was in trouble.

I confess I failed high school economics.

And even after I went back and looked up some of the concepts that were confusing, I am still unable to put the pieces together.

What the heck is an Industry Multiplier? Who picked these numbers out? Are they arbitrary? If not, how did they get here and who made them king?

Please forgive my ignorance, I am but a newly freed slave looking to clean off the dirt from the fields.
