Joseph S. Moore

Dr. Joseph S. Moore is an historian and author whose work examines the financial undercurrents of American history. His book, "How to Get Rich in American History: 300 Years of Financial Advice That Worked (& Didn't)," published by Harper Business, explores how Americans have pursued wealth from the era of Benjamin Franklin to the present. By analyzing centuries of financial advice, scams, and successes, Moore provides lessons on economic behavior that connect historical trends to contemporary financial strategies.

Moore's earlier scholarship includes "Founding Sins: How a Group of Antislavery Radicals Fought for the Soul of a Nation," which investigates the debates shaping America's founding principles. His work also addresses the development of American history textbooks, reflecting his expertise in educational historiography. These publications demonstrate Moore's ability to present complex historical narratives in an accessible manner, contributing to discussions on economic history and national development.

As a speaker, Moore engages audiences through his Substack platform and personal website, focusing on the strategies and challenges of building wealth in America. His research into how individuals navigated financial opportunities and obstacles positions him as a knowledgeable resource on American economic history and personal finance.
