The real culprit behind the gap between rich and poorWhy do wealth and poverty repeat themselves?
This book explains that the cause of economic inequality lies in the state-led monetary system.

“It’s not your fault you didn’t get rich!”
Why do some people accumulate endless wealth, while others fall into repeated poverty?
The true story of money that no one dared to tell.
After its publication, "Why Do They Get Rich?" was exported overseas, ranked first in the economics category on Amazon Spain and other bestsellers, and received rave reviews from global investors and economists, including Marc Faber.
The economy is getting more difficult than ever.
After a brief period of prosperity, a long recession follows, and crises recur.
But even in these rapidly changing times, there are people who do not lose their wealth, and those who build wealth in times of crisis.
On the other hand, many people live with these questions.
"Everyone seems to be doing well, so why don't I have any money? How long will I have to keep working so hard? Is economic class an inevitable, unavoidable fact of life in a capitalist society?"
In "Why Are They the Only Ones Getting Rich," the two authors, known as Austrian National Economic School scholars and German economics doctors and financial mentors, clearly organize the causes of various economic problems occurring in our society by linking them to the "monetary system."
The author argues that the state-led monetary system is responsible for economic inequality and the financial crisis.
It explains, in simple and clear logic, that governments use financial and monetary policies not to represent the interests of the majority, but rather to represent their own interests and those of the wealthy.
This book examines the origins of money and how the monetary system has shifted in a way that favors the wealthy, helping readers understand that poverty stems not from a lack of individual effort but from structural problems.
In this era of repeated economic ups and downs, this is a must-read for those seeking solutions to economic inequality while developing an eye for understanding the true nature of money.

Into the book
Do you feel like our society is becoming alienated? Why do the few benefit by oppressing the many? Why are the traditional bonds of social cohesion fraying, and why are people becoming increasingly materialistic and heartless? Why are the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer? The real cause of all these problems lies in the monetary system.
--- p.13, from “Don’t be used by money anymore”
Without money, the complex, multifaceted division of labor in our society cannot be properly maintained.
Division of labor brings enormous productivity, and that productivity is enough to feed the entire population of the planet.
(Omitted) In order for money to maintain purchasing power and fulfill its function of continuously transmitting it into the future, its value must be stable.
--- pp.31~33, from “The Necessity of Money that Has Become Irreplaceable”
Inflation causes a redistribution of wealth.
Inflation works to the advantage of those who first obtain access to newly printed money.
The first person to get their hands on the money will make a big profit because they can buy the goods at prices that have not yet changed.
On the other hand, those who get new money late or who cannot get it at all become victims.
By the time they get to the point where they need to secure additional income, the prices of goods and services have already risen.
--- p.113, from “The Real Culprit of the Gap Between the Rich and the Poor”
The state makes the poor poorer and the rich richer through its monetary system, expansion of the money supply, and increase in debt.
But because few people can see through these actions, the state always shifts the responsibility for them to others.
Then the state comes in the guise of a social worker and begins to redistribute the income.
They even steal money from the rich and give it to the poor.
This is a deceptive raison d'être created by the state itself.
But these are problems that would not have existed at all if the state did not have a monopoly on currency.
--- p.178, from “Algorithm of Wealth and Poverty”
Social imbalance is gradually deepening.
And as time goes on, people start a new cycle with more and more bad debts.
The same pattern has been repeated since the financial crisis of the 1970s that hit the world.
Whenever a crisis hits, interest rates inevitably fall and new money is created to bail out those who are over-indebted.

Publisher's Review
Economic Insights for Modern People Struggling with Money in a Capitalist World
The true formula for wealth has finally been revealed!
South Korea is experiencing high inflation and rising household debt, affecting the middle and low-income classes, real estate market volatility due to high housing prices, and a rapidly aging society, leading to turbulent labor markets.
Moreover, as the economic recession continues, we are faced with a situation where the gap between rich and poor is widening further.
According to Thomas Piketty, author of “Capital in the Twenty-First Century,” capitalism is responsible for the growing inequality of income and wealth.
However, the author refutes that claim.
The cause lies not in capitalism, but in the currency we use, and it is the state-run monetary system that regulates the money supply that causes economic imbalances.
Henry Ford, founder of the Ford automobile company, once said, “If people understood how our financial and monetary systems worked, we would have a revolution before the next day even begins.”
This probably means that even he, a world-class tycoon, already knows the side effects of the current monetary system.
So now, through this book, I must understand the essence of money and prepare to protect my wealth.
Why Hard Work Makes It Hard to Follow the Path to Wealth
Truths They Never Taught You in School
Although we are well aware of the harmful effects of monopoly, we leave the monetary system entirely up to the government without carefully examining its background.
We are entrusting our monetary system to people who don't even seem capable of completing a single airport on time.
But they are well-versed in the subject of money.
That's why the author emphasizes that without understanding the mechanisms of a state-led monetary system, we cannot grasp the core of our economic situation.
This book systematically unravels the structure of currency from its birth to its present state.
To make it easier for even those unfamiliar with economics to understand, the market economy was explained using a hypothetical city as an example.
Through the process of bartering among citizens, the reason gold was once considered a medium of exchange, and the stable establishment of a monetary order, we can understand what a "good currency" without government intervention is.
On the other hand, it also analyzes the reasons for the emergence of 'bad money' and its problems, including the reason why the state monopolized the production and supply of currency to maintain its power, and how this affected the economy and individual lives.
In this case, the monetary system we use is not problematic in itself, but inequality is deepening because of those who exploit it.
Citing the work of renowned economists, including Nobel Prize winner Friedrich Hayek, the author also discusses the disadvantages of monetary monopolies on consumers and why people fail to recognize problems with the system.
This allows us to objectively look at the reality that the poor are getting poorer and the rich are getting richer, such as the expansion of the national currency supply, the increase in debt, the abuse of tax money by the economically disadvantaged, and tax cuts for the wealthy.
All over the world, including Germany, the United States, Spain, and Taiwan
The book that has been talked about by word of mouth for over 10 years
A masterpiece that countless readers have read more than once.
It's hard to find a clear answer to why inflation persists, why the state's monopoly on issuing currency is dangerous, why individual freedom is fundamentally important, and why the gap between rich and poor is widening.
This book, which clearly explains the essence of money that no one had properly explained, has been widely read and acclaimed by readers for over 10 years since its publication.
The author guarantees that your perspective on economics and society will change significantly after reading this book.
If you want to understand the currency that causes social ills, achieve greater economic stability, and develop a solid economic perspective despite market volatility, this book is for you.
This is a must-read book to address social disparities without being swayed by the national system.
