Gonzo Capitalism: How to Make Money in an Economy that Hates You
From Chris Guillebeau, the New York Times bestselling author of The $100 Startup, comes a captivating guide that explains how to thrive in today's turbulent global economy.
'A must-read guide to the new economy. This book will help you navigate emerging paths to prosperity that you didn’t even know existed!'
Ozan Varol, bestselling author of Think Like a Rocket Scientist
Burdened with piling student debt, stagnant wages, and a rising cost of living, a growing number of enterprising individuals are abandoning the traditional nine-to-five model of modern work. Instead, they’re turning to an ecosystem of unregulated, decentralized platforms to build their own version of success.
In Gonzo Capitalism, serial entrepreneur and self-help expert Chris Guillebeau explores this brave new world – from the tech workers working multiple jobs at once to the British teenager who earned $500,000 naming other people’s babies, to the global community of online gamers getting ‘paid to play’. Along the way, he shows you how our turbulent economy really works, and how to come up with your own unconventional ways to turn your time and talents into a better way of living.
