Publisher Description
Discover “new paths to prosperity you never knew existed” in this “must-read guide to the new economy.” (Ozan Varol, author of Awaken Your Genius)
The traditional ways of earning a living are outdated, if not outright rigged. That’s why a growing number of enterprising individuals are instead turning to the growing ecosystem of decentralized, fast-moving virtual markets to pursue a host of previously unheard-of ways to pay the bills.
Join New York Times bestselling author Chris Guillebeau on a fascinating tour of this brave new world where novelty is currency, and the creators are in control. Along the way, you’ll meet a colorful cast of renegades who are driving this money revolution, including:
A teenager who earned more than $400,000 helping indecisive parents pick the perfect name for their newborn child The armchair pundits and pop culture enthusiasts making hundreds of dollars a day betting on everything from local elections to who will be next to be voted off Love Island via online “prediction markets”. A broke 29-year-old who bartered her way from a hairpin to a new house—twice—while gaining internet fame in the process. The gamers racking up digital currency by breeding virtual crabs in the metaverse. A remote worker who collects two six-figure salaries from simultaneously working two different jobs.
Gonzo Capitalism is your field guide to the new rules of money, where any and everything is for sale. In it, you’ll learn how capitalize on today’s technology and platforms to turn your time, talents, and creativity into income—on your own terms.

Couldn’t even make it to the end
I went into this book as a total beginner…..I made it all the way to the last 10 minutes and couldn’t take another minute. I’m now worse off than I was knowledge wise and even more discouraged and convinced I’m stupid and incapable of understanding this new way of how people talk in such a confusing way that if you’re new to this, he might as well have been speaking Chinese. This tells you 101 different examples of how people are making money, but it doesn’t tell you how to do it no references or resources just upon story of what people are doing with no direction of how you can actually implement or apply this. I would not recommend this to anyone if you’re looking for something that can set you on a path to learn HOW to learn ways to creatively make money through non traditional methods. This is not for the regular people of the world that speak plain straight forward English. 👎
