Great summary

I never tried ZipReads before and it turned out to be a good way to skim a large work. I had seen interviews of the writer on Canadian and U.S. sites before, so was familiar with his last two books.

This was a good glimpse of the details for a volume that I couldn't afford to purchase or was available to borrow. The writer's credentials are impeccable and his study of wealth inequality is a must read. He challenges the morality of the existence of billionaires, as well as the mechanisms that are employed to create psychological and social justifications for their lifestyles and very existence.

The full book is worth the price, if it fits your budget. In the meantime, this summary work is a nice short preview is an important book.
