In 2018 the world watched as 82 per cent of all wealth created was
claimed by the top 1 per cent of the global population. The bottom 50
per cent of humanity saw no increase at all. While one new billionaire
was created every two days, one in every four South Africans were
living on less than R18 per day – not enough to buy a loaf of bread.
Inequality has always been part of the world we live in, but in the
past twenty years the situation has worsened. We have seen the rise of
mega corporations, where regional companies have become global players:
power brokers that are richer and more powerful than most countries.
This has seen businesses record ever-increasing profits while they pay
ever-decreasing taxes. How is this happening?
In South Africa, millions of people depend on the services and products
of mega corporations, but to what extent do these corporations
influence and affect the lives of their consumers? What do these
companies do with all the power that is in their hands?
In The Dirty Secrets of the Rich and Powerful, James-Brent Styan casts
the spotlight on economic inequality and unpacks historical and ongoing
business practices that have a real influence on people today. This
book takes you right into the corridors of power and behind the closed
doors of the boardrooms of the rich and powerful to show you how, and
why, the status quo seems so unfair.
