I would recommend reading the full description above with the note from the author. I appreciate the audience specified as young people of wealth wanting an introduction to using wealth responsibly in
activism for social change, and how that definition is explored both in a way that challenges and respects. As a person who grew up with middle class privilege, I still found much of the book useful, and other parts were more directed at the intended audience. It seemed to me that it could have benefited from a few modifications that would make it more broadly applicable, as middle class life in America can and should be labeled "wealthy" and "privileged."
The cartoons helpfully framed and approached the topics. It felt a bit simplified and repetitive to me at times, and other times made reference to particular exercises or ideas that someone new to thinking about class privilege may not have encountered.

I really appreciate this book! Some parts felt slightly outdated, but overall this book was really informative. It operated in three parts: 1) Working through Class Privilege 2) Creating a giving plan 3) Inspiring your wealthy networks to give more.
I got the most out of the detailed steps for investigating how much wealth I have access to, and imagining what I can do with it -- including different ways to be in right relationship as I move my excess money to people with need. This is an incredible how-to guide. It vastly opened my imagination around what social change is possible with wealth. Highly recommend!

I'm a big fan of the work that Resource Generation does in helping young people with wealth move money to the movement. This book is an incredible resource!
