Each of them is one in a million. They number six thousand on a
planet of six billion. They run our governments, our largest
corporations, the powerhouses of international finance, the media,
world religions, and, from the shadows, the world's most dangerous
criminal and terrorist organizations. They are the global
superclass, and they are shaping the history of our time. Today's
superclass has achieved unprecedented levels of wealth and power.
They have globalized more rapidly than any other group. But do they
have more in common with one another than with their own
countrymen, as nationalist critics have argued? They control
globalization more than anyone else. But has their influence fed
the growing economic and social inequity that divides the world?
What happens behind closeddoor meetings in Davos or aboard
corporate jets at 41,000 feet? Conspiracy or collaboration?
Deal-making or idle self-indulgence? What does the rise of Asia and
Latin America mean for the conventional wisdom that shapes our
destinies? Who sets the rules for a group that operates beyond
national laws? Drawn from scores of exclusive interviews and
extensive original reporting, "Superclass "answers all of these
questions and more. It draws back the curtain on a privileged
society that most of us know little about, even though it
profoundly affects our everyday lives. It is the first in-depth
examination of the connections between the global communities of
leaders who are at the helm of every major enterprise on the planet
and control its greatest wealth. And it is an unprecedented
examination of the trends within the superclass, which are likely
to alter our politics, our institutions, and the shape of the world
in which we live.
