The Haves and Have-Yachts : Dispatches on the Ultrarich - Evan Osnos

*** 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. `A prestige romp'�New York Times�`Superb'�Literary Review� ���������� �������������������������������������������������������������������������������`Charming'�Washington Post�`Important'�Irish Times`Entertaining and unsettling'�Financial Times
