Good financial intelligence follow up book for "rich dad"?

Question

Just looking for a follow up book to better understand how money works. The reviews for his other books kind signify that they are just a repeat of his book rich dad poor Dad. So I'm looking for something that follows his philosophy, and is more detailed.

@Ryan Hesselberg "The Creature from Jekyll Island" is a life changing book on this topic.  It is entirely about central banking (the creators of money) and exactly how it came about, how it is used to manipulate currency and economies, and how banks operate to create money.   From an individual investor point of view, I really found "The Simple Path to Wealth" to be a great read for understanding how money works and the power of debt and compound interest.

If you're looking for a book that's a little more real-estate focused, I really liked The Millionaire Real Estate Investor by Gary Keller!

Some great suggestions so far.  I think the Austrian School of Economics would be right up your alley.  I'd highly recommend visiting the Mises Institute and their vast library on their website.  The Youtube channel (Misesmedia) is also immensely valuable with their on-going lecture series.
