The Poor and the Plutocrats

From the Poorest of the Poor to the Richest of the Rich

Beschreibung

The Poor and the Plutocrats is an examination of financial inequality. From Apple, the first trillion-dollar company, at one end of the spectrum to those living in dire poverty on the other, Francis Teal explains how a world has emerged where both of these extremes co-exist.
