Description

Billionaires: The Lives of the Rich and Powerful

By examining the lives of media baron Rupert Murdoch, oil and gas tycoons Charles and David Koch, and online marketplaces founder Jeff Bezos through graphic biographies, Darryl Cunningham explores how the super-rich have acquired their wealth and what advantages they have enjoyed beyond their personal ability. This analysis draws comparisons with the 'Gilded Age' of the late 19th century, where a few individuals gained colossal wealth and helped shape the modern world.

Cunningham's book raises questions about whether such wealthy individuals are necessary to finance technological progress and whether their influence is disproportionate in our society. A thought-provoking examination of the role of the super-rich in shaping our world.
