Résumé
The glittering lives of billionaires may seem like a harmless source of entertainment, but such concentrated economic power reverberates throughout society, threatening the quality of life and the very functioning of democracy. And while we tend to regard large fortunes… as evidence of great talent or accomplishment, the vast new wealth isn't due to an increase in talent or effort at the top, but rather to changing social attitudes legitimizing greed and government policy changes that favour the new elite. Strong language. 2010.
