The 1% and the Rest of Us- A Political Economy of Dominant Ownership (Hardcover)
Tim Di Muzio (OUT IF PRINT NEW)
While the Occupy movementfaces many strategic and organizational challenges, one of its majoraccomplishments has been to draw global attention to the massive disparity ofincome, wealth and privilege held by 1% of the population in nations across theworld. In The 1% and the Rest of Us, Tim Di Muzio explores what it means to bepart of a socio-economic order presided over by the super-rich and theirpolitical servants. Incorporating provocative and original arguments aboutphilanthropy, social wealth and the political role of the super-rich, Di Muzioreveals how the 1% are creating a world unto themselves in which theaccumulation of ever more money is really a symbolic drive to control societyand the natural environment.
