Davos man : how the billionaires devoured the world
Goodman, Peter S.2022
Books
The history of the last half century in America, Europe, and other major economies is in large part the story of wealth flowing upward. The most affluent people emerged from capitalism's triumph in the Cold War to loot the peace, depriving governments of the resources needed to serve their people, and leaving them tragically unprepared for the worst pandemic in a century. Drawing on decades of experience covering the global economy, award-winning journalist Peter S. Goodman profiles five representative 'Davos Men' - members of the billionaire class - chronicling how their shocking exploitation of the global pandemic has hastened a fifty-year trend of wealth centralization.
