Forget the 1 percent--\u003ci\u003ePlutocrats\u003c\/i\u003e proves that it is the wealthiest 0.1 percent who are outpacing the rest of us at breakneck speed. Most of these new fortunes are not inherited, amassed instead by perceptive businesspeople who see themselves as deserving victors in a cutthroat international competition. With empathy and intelligence, \u003ci\u003ePlutocrats\u003c\/i\u003e reveals the consequences of concentrating the world's wealth into fewer and fewer hands. Propelled by fascinating original interviews with the plutocrats themselves, \u003ci\u003ePlutocrats\u003c\/i\u003e is a tour de force of social and economic history, the definitive examination of inequality in our time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chrystia Freeland\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/24\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.6lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.50w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780143124061","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43256159961225,"sku":"9780143124061","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_f0807ff6-54ef-4947-9f29-19f59a83c28e.jpg?v=1736237888","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/plutocrats-the-rise-of-the-new-global-super-rich-and-the-fall-of-everyone-else-9780143124061","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
