The Super Rich Shall Inherit the Earth

Recent years have seen the rise of a new and insidious club of global billionaires who are buying up once unfashionable industries from distressed third-world nations and former communist powers. This book explains the implications of this worrying trend and what it means for the worldwide economy.

A journalist and broadcaster, Stephen Armstrong writes for the Sunday Times, the Guardian, GQ, Esquire and the New Statesman amongst others.
