The Occupy Wall Street movement, and the presidential campaigns of both Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump, reveals how more and more people who are struggling understand that the system is rigged against them. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e While Americans have been trained to direct their scorn at welfare recipients and the poor in general, a tiny handful of plutocratic elites have profited on an unfathomable scale through corporate welfare and other perks. Unimaginable salaries and bonuses for the One Percent, contrasted by layoffs and reduced pay for the majority of the workforce, along with increasing calls for austerity measures and lowered standards of living, has become the \"new normal\" in America. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Donald Jeffries argues that this record economic inequality is more than an unintended consequence of globalism. In \u003ci\u003eSurvival of the Richest\u003c\/i\u003e, he shows how the consolidation of wealth may well prove to be the greatest conspiracy of all.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Skyhorse Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/05\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781510759251\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Donald Jeffries","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36655668461724,"sku":"9781510759251","price":16.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_3a008ecd-d644-4782-aa81-ba851e8ba8fa.jpg?v=1603886272","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/survival-of-the-richest-how-the-corruption-of-the-marketplace-and-the-disparity-of-wealth-created-the-greatest-conspiracy-of-all-9781510759251","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
