The Ravens

by Robert T. Kiyosaki

First published 2026

Robert Kiyosaki ventures into fictional territory with this forward-looking narrative that draws parallels between historical patterns and future economic upheaval. The author examines how individuals can position themselves to benefit from coming turbulent periods by studying the lessons of the past. Ravens serve as the central metaphor throughout the work, representing the dual nature of prophecy and wisdom. While these dark birds traditionally symbolize bad omens and loss, Kiyosaki explores their role as symbols of intelligence, foresight, and divine guidance. The title pays homage to Felix Somary, the Swiss banker and diplomat nicknamed "The Raven of Zurich" for his accurate but pessimistic economic predictions. Somary championed the connection between stable currencies and democratic institutions. Kiyosaki weaves these themes together to create a story about preparing for and capitalizing on uncertain times ahead.
