The problem with the world today is the availability of interesting things to read.
Chrystia Freeland’s “Plutocrats: The Rise of the New Global Super-Rich and the Fall of Everyone Else” is a good example.
Her exploration of the 1% and the .1% makes for fascinating reading.
She uses both contemporary and historic examples to illustrate the emergence and issues of this class.
I found her assertion that the elite have become stateless amusing within the context of an ever more nationalized world.
