Before entering politics and becoming Minister of Foreign Affairs in Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s cabinet, Chrystia Freeland was most known as a respected journalist, writer and editor. In 2012 her book “Plutocrats: The Rise of the New Global Super-rich and the Fall of Everyone Else” was published. In the interesting times that exist currently in North American politics, trade and economics, this well described and interesting analysis of the growing gap between the super-rich, the wealthiest .01% and the average, or less than average earners, makes for a relevant and rather terrifying read. If you enjoyed the examination of economic inequality, and the power of the super-rich as described in Dark Money, this is an interesting comparable read.
