Learn the rules of the game of capitalism so you can play to win and build wealth

Crash Course on Capitalism and Money: Lessons from the World's Most Expensive City is not your typical personal finance guide. Written by the founders of the top personal finance blog in Singapore, this book acknowledges the frustrations many young people feel as they enter the world of money, and it shows you how to develop the mindset necessary to thrive for the rest of your life. Through visual storytelling, Crash Course on Capitalism and Money melds personal finance, economics, sociology, and psychology to create a book that shows you the path to financial success. If you're ready to rise above discontentment, accept the reality you find yourself in, and put in the work it takes to survive, then thrive in today's world―then this is the book for you.

In this book, you'll find a collection of the most popular comics by The Woke Salaryman. The stories are accompanied by commentaries that offer additional context on how each story fits within the bigger framework of approaching the daunting challenge of navigating money, life and purpose in these times.

Why you should get the book:

  • It's a guided tour from the perspective of the disillusioned youth who feel like the game is rigged and the odds are stacked against their favor.
  • The comics and illustrated essays make the technical and boring aspects of personal finance more accessible and interesting.
  • Actionable step-by-step tips on how to make your first steps after graduation.
  • The point is not just to make as much money as possible, but rather to think about personal finance as an important strategic aspect in your life, from which you can then achieve your life goals.

For young people just beginning their personal finance journeys, as well as anyone who wants to make better financial and life choices while navigating the rules of capitalism and wealth, Crash Course on Capitalism and Money is a fun and enlightening read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Practical perspectives on life and money. I wish I had this 10 years ago!
Reviewed in Singapore on 20 March 2024
Verified Purchase
The team behind The Woke Salaryman have a unique flair for addressing hard truths in an empathetic way, and communicate these perspectives in a way that is simple to understand through clear language and illustrations.

This book puts together a lot of their past content (possibly, some new ones?), strung together with an overarching narrative that helps the reader:
1. Make sense of one's external environment (from a socio-economic standpoint)
2. Make sense of one's internal environment (mindset, expectations, discontentment)
3. Find an informed and balanced way forward

Expect to read a self-help book that's filled with food for thought, and hope for the seemingly bleak world we live in. Stay woke, salaryman! ;)

5.0 out of 5 stars Practical and Realistic Book on Finance and Life

A thoroughly enjoyable and easy read, I finished the book in less than a day. It features bite-sized content with a core focus on finance; seamlessly integrating life's essential hard and soft skills that are more often than not, overlooked. The key lessons on self-investment, lifelong learning, frugal living and smart investing are reinforced with every page.

Written in a thoughtful, empathetic, matured and light-hearted manner, this book shows you how finance can be made fun and easily understood via a comic form. It introduces financial terms and concepts to laymen in a readable webcomic style. The takeaways are important and relevant for anyone looking to build character (i.e. be a better person) while improving your money management skills.

Overall, a very sensible book with a well-balanced tone, providing the tools on pursuing your dreams and finding out what kind of a person you want to be in this world.

Highly recommend you to grab a copy and have a read!

I've been a follower of the author through social media for quite some time, and I'm relieved that his book finally released. The views are based from Singapore, but the teachings are relevant to people living in most developed countries. It raises the fact that not everyone is born equal, so we can't really change that but chose decisions for ourselves. Half of the book is comic-based with teachings for wisdom, and it's an intriguing read for young adults.
