Plutocrats: The Rise of the New Global Super-Rich and the Fall of Everyone Else by Chrystia Freeland

3.0

I read the book after my interest was peaked from watching Chrystia Freeland's TED Talk. There are a lot of other reviewers who wrote very detailed reviews. I am less inclined at the moment to write my own so instead, I will just say that this was an interesting but depressing read. It confirms what most already know -that gap between the "rich and "poor" is widening; that most of us will never, ever be part of the 1%; and those who are have an incredibly skewed world-view that results in an excessive attitude of self-entitlement.
