## Resource

This week on Standard Deviations with Dr. Daniel Crosby, Dr. Crosby is joined by Dr. Joseph Moore. Joseph Moore, PhD is an author, historian, and investor living in Atlanta, GA whose writings have been published in outlets like The New York Times and Oxford University Press. He is formerly Associate Professor of History, Department Chair, and Special Assistant to the President at Gardner-Webb University, and now teaches at Kennesaw State University. His latest book, How to Get Rich in American History: 300 Years of Financial Advice That Worked (& Didn’t), is the first ever history of financial advice in America. It explores what everyday people were told to do with their money, how advice changed over time, and what history teaches for financial life today. In addition to researching the past, Moore experimented with history’s wildest financial strategies on himself, leading to hair-raising and often hilarious results, but also leading him to become financially independent in his mid 40s.
