Why the cover is a cartoon
Look at who is holding the whip.
A dollar bill, waving a mortgage contract, standing over a couple and the house they believe they own. The couple are smiling. They think they have made it. The bill knows better: for the next thirty years they will get up every morning and go to work for it.
It is drawn as a cartoon on purpose. Money is not real in the way a house or a day of your life is real. It is an idea we all agreed to, created out of nothing by banks and lent to us at interest, and then paid back with our physical labour. A serious cover would have given money the reverence it does not deserve. A cartoon says what the book says: it is just an idea, and you can stop serving it.
The book is about turning that picture around, so that money works for you and you stop working for money.
The full cover
The back cover carries the book's argument in a few lines: learn what stops 98 per cent of people succeeding at anything, why two people with the same capital, idea and timing get very different outcomes, and why turning the steering wheel does nothing until the car is started.
