The author does a great job of chipping away at the phonies who make money by sellilng "success" while convincing people they "earned" their money, instead of practising various financial machinations. (Look into Brian Tracy's exploitation of people and structured finance real estate deals, for instance.) Even today, after the SEC investigation which exposed the financial frauds of Goldman Sachs and John Paulson and his hedge fund (e.g., the Abacus CDO), business reporters refer to how Paulson "bet against the subprime market" and other such fiction! [The historical accuracy of Horatio Alger was the he was both a Harvard University graduate and a pedophile.]
