The Trouble with Billionaires

Resumen del libro

In this blistering attack on the super-rich in the UK and US, McQuaig and Brooks combine satirical bite with impeccable research to explain that ever-increasing income inequality is the product of a global legal and economic system that has been rigged by the wealthiest. With disastrous consequences for the rest of us, from wild financial speculation to failing health, this incisive but lively polemic maintains that it is time for society to fight back.

Arguing that instead of austerity a strategy the authors decry as a flawed effort to shore up a failing economic paradigm we should tackle tax havens, patent law, and lax regulation, this is a rousing clarion call to arms, which points to a simple solution worth fighting for: tax the rich, they deserve it!

A devastating exposé from two of our most rigorous, knowledgeable and humourous chroniclers of corporate excess.
