Synopsis

Drawing on his 35-year career in financial services public relations in New York City and on an eclectic mix of sources ranging from Milan Kundera and Burton Malkiel to Leonard Mlodinow (author of The Drunkard's Walk: How Randomness Rules our Lives) and the 1980 Bruce Beresford firm, Breaker Morant, author Mike MacMillan argues that the confluence of new technology and low cost financial products has dramatically altered the investing landscape for everyone.

Not just another recounting of the savings and retirement crisis, this book brings the subject to life in part through the eyes of a new generation of innovators working to introduce the previously disenfranchised to the benefits of stock ownership. A humorously insightful mash up of ideas, and at times laugh out loud funny, it offers a roadmap for employing free market solutions to help solve the challenge of wealth inequality.

MacMillan has found a revolution hiding in plain sight.
