As the 2008 financial crisis was beginning to drag millions of homeowners underwater, Joseph Moore took a personal finance class at his church. He realized that conventional wisdom about renting versus owning had put his family in a dangerous spot. &quot;We sold our house on a Saturday,&quot; Joseph remembers. &quot;Our neighbor put her house on the market the next Saturday. It never sold. We were the last two people off the Financial Titanic in 2008.&quot; Then a light went on in Joseph's historian brain. He wasn't the only person who followed advice like &quot;renting is throwing away money&quot; to poor financial decisions. But while there are countless biographies about the Rockefellers &amp;nbsp;of the world, no one writes books about the folks on Main Street and the strategies that have -- and haven't -- helped them build wealth throughout history. Joseph spent the next ten years writing that book, the national bestseller How to Get Rich in American History: 300 Years of Financial Advice That Worked and Didn't.
