Description
The wealth gap is widening, and the effects of austerity are deepening. In many countries, the rich have seen their wealth soar, while others struggle to make ends meet. Andrew Sayer's new book, Why We Can't Afford the Rich, exposes the unjust mechanisms that allow the top 1% to accumulate wealth at the expense of others. Sayer argues that the rich worldwide have increased their ability to create indebtedness and expand their political influence, threatening the planet by banking on unsustainable growth. This important book challenges the myth that the rich are specially talented wealth creators, instead revealing how they are undermining economies and societies. A new Afterword updates developments in the last year, forcefully arguing that radical change is needed to make economies sustainable, fair, and conducive to well-being for all.
