This is the reasoning behind the book Poor Dad Rich Dad, which to be fair makes quite a few good points about this stuff, and says you are left to your own devices because it isn't advantageous for govt, companies etc for you to be educated in these things. Good book to start off your 'financial intelligence' as Kiyosaki puts it. I particularly like how it is themed around the idea 'the rich don't work for money', and so the middle class bear much of the burden of the modern world.
