Chrystia Freeland’s book, “Plutocrats: The Rise of the New Global Super-Rich and the Fall of Everyone Else” is a thought-provoking and eye-opening examination of the growing inequality and consolidation of wealth in the hands of a small group of ultra-wealthy individuals. Through extensive research and interviews with top CEOs, billionaires, and other movers and shakers in the world of finance, Freeland paints a vivid portrait of the rising power and influence of the super-rich and the impact it has on the rest of society.
At its core, “Plutocrats” explores how the global economy has shifted in favor of the wealthy elite, and how this has led to a growing divide between the rich and the rest of society. Freeland delves into the historical context of this shift, tracing it back to the fall of communism and the rise of free market policies. She also examines the impact of this concentration of wealth on democracy, social mobility, and the future of capitalism.
Freeland’s book challenges readers to think critically about the role of the super-rich in society and the consequences of their growing power and influence. It is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the current state of the global economy and the forces that shape it.</p
