✦ Synopsis

Learn how to be poor from a real expert...

A lifelong pauper himself, George Mikes teaches poverty with panache, enthusiasm and wit. Realizing the disadvantages of wealth at an early age, in later years he has perfected his techniques for the avoidance of this unhappy state and now eagerly imparts his hard-won knowledge. In chapters headed ‘Beware of Money’, ‘Meannessi and ‘Bargains’ he warns of the private habits that can lead to the unforeseen acquisition of wealth; having instructed us in these basic pauper’s rules, he goes on to deal with the more sophisticated matter of wearing your poverty with becoming grace.

Subtle, ironic and marvellously funny, George Mikes’s review of the money trap should convert the most strident millionaire to a state of abject-, and happy — poverty.
