"There has always been a gap between rich and poor, yet over the last few decades what it means to be wealthy has changed dramatically.  But who are the new transglobal class of self-made oligarchs?  And as the chasm between them and everyone else deepens, is there anything we can do about it?  From Davos to Dubai, financial journalist Chrystia Freeland cracks open the tight-knit world of today’s super-rich, from $3 million birthday parties to bankers who write their own regulatory laws.  Dissecting the world of extreme wealth with intelligence, realism and deep insight, Plutocrats also shows what it means for the rest of us.”
