About Joseph Moore

Joseph Moore is an author, historian and investor.

Joseph Moore is an author, historian, and investor whose relentless optimism, academic research, and self-experimentation with history’s wildest financial strategies made him financially independent in his mid-40s.

His writing blends deep, unconventional insights with some of history’s most hilarious stories and has appeared through HarperCollins, The New York Times, and other major outlets. His first book, from Oxford University Press, was praised as “extraordinary” and “witty.”

His new book “leaves you believing in the American Dream again.” He teaches readers how to avoid the scams we keep falling for, what history says about crypto, stocks, and real estate (hint: it isn’t what they tell you), and offers 25 lessons that really worked (and 7 that didn’t) to get ahead in America.
