What to expect

Read by the author, Chris Guillebeau.

The nine-to-five is dead. This is Gonzo Capitalism.

From Chris Guillebeau, 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 work model. 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. Through their stories, learn how to:

  • Make money from AI
  • Become a 'sleepfluencer'
  • Open a pop-up rat café
  • And much more!


With this inspirational and actionable handbook as your guide, discover 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.
