A groundbreaking examination of wealth
disparity, income inequality, and the new global
elite
There has always been some gap between rich and poor in
this country, but in the last few decades what it means to
be rich has changed dramatically. Alarmingly, the greatest
income gap is not between the 1 percent and the 99 percent,
but within the wealthiest 1 percent of our nation--as the
merely wealthy are left behind by the rapidly expanding
fortunes of the new global super-rich. Forget the 1
percent; Plutocrats proves that it is the
wealthiest 0.1 percent who are outpacing the rest of us at
break-neck speed.
Whats changed is more than numbers. Today, most colossal
fortunes are new, not inherited--amassed by perceptive
businessmen who see themselves as deserving victors in a
cut-throat international competition. As a transglobal
class of successful professionals, todays self-made
oligarchs often feel they have more in common with one
another than with their countrymen back home. Bringing
together the economics and psychology of these new
super-rich, Plutocrats puts us inside a league
very much of its own, with its own rules.
The closest mirror to our own time is the late nineteenth
century Gilded Age--the era of powerful robber barons like
Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller. Then as now,
emerging markets and innovative technologies collided to
produce unprecedented wealth for more people than ever in
human history. Yet those at the very top benefited far more
than others--and from this pinnacle they exercised immense
and unchecked power in their countries. Todays closest
analogue to these robber barons can be found in the
turbulent economies of India, Brazil, and China, all home
to ferocious market competition and political turmoil. But
wealth, corruption, and populism are no longer constrained
by national borders, so this new Gilded Age is already
transforming the economics of the West as well.
Plutocrats demonstrates how social upheavals
generated by the first Gilded Age may pale in comparison to
what is in store for us, as the wealth of the entire
globalized world is concentrated in fewer and fewer
hands.
Cracking open the tight-knit world of the new global
super-rich is Chrystia Freeland, an acclaimed business
journalist who has spent nearly two decades reporting on
the new transglobal elite. She parses an internal Citigroup
memo that urges clients to design portfolios around the
international Plutonomy and not the national rest; follows
Russian, Mexican, and Indian oligarchs during the
privatization boom as they manipulate the levers of power
to commandeer their local economies; breaks down the gender
divide between the vast female-managed middle class and the
worlds one thousand billionaires; shows how, by controlling
both the economic and political institutions of their
nation, the richest members of Chinas National Peoples
Congress have amassed more wealth than every branch of
American government combined--the president, his cabinet,
the justices of the Supreme Court, and both houses of
Congress.
Though the results can be shocking, Freeland dissects the
lives of the worlds wealthiest individuals with empathy,
intelligence, and deep insight. Brightly written,
powerfully researched, and propelled by fascinating
original interviews with the plutocrats themselves,
Plutocrats is a tour-de-force of social and
economic history, and the definitive examination of
inequality in our time.
Rising inequality is one of the most pressing issues of our
time. Chrystia Freeland's Plutocrats provides us
with a glimpse of the lives of America's elites and a
disquieting look at the society that produces them. This
well-written and lively account is a good primer for anyone
who wants to understand one extreme of America
today."
--Joseph Stiglitz, author of The Price of
Inequality; University Professor, Columbia
University
Mix crisp economics, ripe history, and two pinches of salty
gossip, and you have the flavor of Chrystia Freelands
entertaining book. From the opulent Bradley Martin ball of
1897 to its modern echoes in Sun Valley and Davos,
Plutocrats chronicles the habits of the workaholic
overclassits taste for British public schools, its immodest
philanthropy, its fundamental rootlessness. Even as she
describes this gilded tribe, Freeland advances a
paradoxical warning. Open societies may allow
super-achievers to pile up extraordinary richesand to feel
that they have more or less deserved them. But the more
these meritocrats succeed, the more likely they are to
entrench their own offspring at the top of the heap,
negating the very meritocracy that afforded them their
chances. Already in the United States, graduating from
college is more closely linked to having wealthy parents
than to grades in high school. When class matters more than
going to class, Freelands message must be treated with the
utmost seriousness.
--Sebastian Mallaby, author of
*More Money than God: Hedge Funds and the Making of
a New Elite
*
Our world increasingly revolves around global elites who
not only have an oversized effect on our politics but also
set the trends and furnish us with the dominant discourse.
In this delightful book, Chrystia Freeland tells the story
of how we got here and what distinguishes our elites from
those of previous epochs. Most importantly, she explains
why the elites' dominance, even when it appears benign, is
a challenge to our institutions and gives us clues about
how we can overcome it.
--Daron Acemoglu, co-author of Why Nations
Fail; economics professor, Massachusetts Institute of
Technology
The worlds wealthy elite are more wealthy, more knit
together, more separate from their fellow citizens and
probably more powerful than ever before. This very
important book describes their lives and more important how
their lives affect all of ours. It should be read by anyone
concerned with how their world is being shaped and how it
will evolve.
--Lawrence Summers, Former U.S. Treasury Secretary;
Charles W. Eliot , University Professor, Harvard
University
Chrystia Freeland has written a fascinating account of
perhaps the most important economic and political
development of our era: the rise of a new plutocracy. She
explains that todays wealthy are different from their
predecessors: more skilled and more global; and more often
employees than owners, notably so in finance and high
technology. By putting together stories of individuals with
reading of the scholarly evidence, she gives us a clear
view of what many will view as a not so brave new
world.
