Summary

Read by the author, Chris Guillebeau.

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.

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.

interesting stories, bad sound quality

Many interesting stories about people who have made (often a lot of) money in unconventional ways. Also interesting that the author have tested many of these firsthand himself. Recommended for people who might be looking for new ways to make money, but don't know quite where to start.

Unfortunately, the sound quality of the recording of the audio book is not very good. Comparing with the Side Hustle School podcast the author's voice sounds flat and scratchy. Otherwise, Chris' performance is great, and just as full of good (or bad) puns as usual!

The audio quality is so bad it puts me off

It’s my second book by this author and I like him but this one is hard to listen to. One would think that a newer book would have all the technology needed to record the sound properly meanwhile it sounds like it was recorded on an iPhone.
