Every day, an unseen army is working to advance the aims of corporations and the rich.From accountants to trade associations, and from scientists to think tanks, the members of the concierge class serve their masters diligently, devising ways to help them evade taxes, change legislation, and sway public opinion.
And the result is more profit for the rich, a widening of inequality, and a weakening of democracy.
