If you weren't aware that the rich use every trick in the book to hoard all the wealth and keep the poor poor then do I have the book for you...

This is a book for those who think capitalism is good for society. It's a collection of short essays that will make you angry at things you were already angry at, but give you a new perspective on capitalism and politics. You think the top foundations that claim to support democracies have good motives? Read this if you think so (like I did).

The reason why I rated it 3 stars is because of the writing style. There's no build-up in the book, there's no coherent message other than "things are bad, people are bad".
