In CHEAP We Trust: The Story of a Misunderstood American Virtue

The Superclass - politicians, military leaders, finance gurus, energy barons, media moguls and thought leaders - is the small group that currently palys the greatest role in shaping the progress of globalization and perhaps the group most chnaged by that phenomenon, so much so that they have more in common with one another than they do with their own countrymen. And because this group frequently operates outside all national and international regulation, they are often in conflict with the elite in their own countries.Rothkopf offers a provocative and trenchant examination of the overlapping international power clusters. He reveals who is a member of this global Superclass and who is likely to be joining it and transforming it in the years ahead. And he will explore how the aggressive pursuit of self-interest by some in this class helped to create a world in which inequity is greater than ever - something that may well threaten international stability in our lifetimes.Rothkopf, David is the author of 'In CHEAP We Trust: The Story of a Misunderstood American Virtue', published 2010 under ISBN 9780316030298 and ISBN 0316030295.
