Fewer than 100 people own and control more wealth than 50 per cent
of the world's population. The Handbook on Wealth and the
Super-Rich is a landmark multidisciplinary evaluation of both the
lives and lifestyles of the super-rich, as well as the processes
that underpin super-wealth generation and its unequal distribution.
Drawing on international case studies, leading experts from across
the social sciences offer 22 accessible and coherently organized
chapters, which critically analyse a range of topics including: the
legitimacy of extreme wealth from a moral economic perspective
biographies of illicit super-wealth London's housing markets how
the very wealthy fly the environmental consequences of super-rich
lives crafting immigration policies to attract the rich. Students
and scholars studying a host of topics such as development studies,
economics, geography, history, political science and sociology will
find this book eminently engaging. It will also be of great
interest to public commentators, charitable organizations and NGOs
concerned with wealth and income distributions. Contributors: R.
