A timely and provocative collection of essays exploring American oligarchy and the culture of excess, providing a wry, unfiltered look at how the ultrarich shape – and sometimes warp – our social and political landscape.
*** THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ***
Chosen as a book of the year by the New Yorker, Financial Times, The Times and Sunday Times.
‘A field guide to the super-rich . . . a hoot to chronicle – and even more fun to read’ Sunday Times
The one percent now hold more of America’s wealth than they did in the heyday of the Carnegies and Rockefellers, and their habits cast a longer shadow than ever before. With deft storytelling and meticulous reporting, Evan Osnos exposes the hidden world of the ultrarich in all its outrageous, fabulous, ridiculous detail: superyachts, luxury bunkers, private gigs, wealth managers, elite tax dodges and a torrent of political donations.
Osnos’s essays are an entertaining, unsettling and eye-opening wake-up call – a case against complacency in the face of unchecked excess and staggering disparities of wealth and power. As the choices of the ultrarich ripple through our lives, The Haves and Have-Yachts couldn’t be more relevant to today’s world.
