The Trouble with Billionaires offers a compelling critique of how extreme wealth influences modern society. Instead of celebrating vast fortunes as signs of talent, it argues that growing billionaire wealth stems from policy shifts and cultural acceptance of greed.

Combining statistical evidence and social analysis, the author highlights surprising connections between concentrated economic power and issues such as high infant mortality, rising crime, shorter life expectancy, and declining political participation, especially in the United States.

Key themes include:

  • Impact of wealth concentration on public health and safety
  • Role of policy in enabling rapid fortune accumulation
  • Effects of social attitudes that legitimize extreme inequality

Thought-provoking and data-driven, this book invites readers to reconsider assumptions about merit, influence, and the true costs of billionaire-driven economies.
