A San Francisco Chronicle Bestseller An NPR Best Book of the YearThe New York Timess Global Economics Correspondent masterfully reveals how billionaires systematic plunder of the worldbrazenly accelerated during the pandemichas transformed 21stcentury life and dangerously destabilized democracy.Davos Man will be read a hundred years from now as a warning. Evan OsnosExcellent. A powerful, fiery book, and it could well be an essential one. NPR.orgThe history of the last half century in America, Europe, and other major economies is in large part the story of wealth flowing upward. The most affluent people emerged from capitalisms triumph in the Cold War to loot the peace, depriving governments of the resources needed to serve their people, and leaving them tragically unprepared for the worst pandemic in a century.Drawing on decades of experience covering the global economy, awardwinning journalist Peter S. Goodman profiles five representative Davos Menmembers of the billionaire classchronicling how their shocking exploitation of the global pandemic has hastened a fiftyyear trend of wealth centralization. Alongside this reporting, Goodman delivers textured portraits of those caught in Davos Mans wake, including a former steelworker in the American Midwest, a Bangladeshi migrant in Qatar, a Seattle doctor on the front lines of the fight against COVID, bluecollar workers in the tenements of Buenos Aires, an African immigrant in Sweden, a textile manufacturer in Italy, an Amazon warehouse employee in New York City, and more.Goodmans revelatory expos of the global billionaire class reveals their hidden impact on nearly every aspect of modern society: widening wealth inequality, the rise of antidemocratic nationalism, the shrinking opportunity to earn a livable wage, the vulnerabilities of our healthcare systems, access to affordable housing, unequal taxation, and even the quality of the shirt on your back. Meticulously reported yet compulsively readable, Davos Man is an essential read for anyone concerned about economic justice, the capacity of societies to grapple with their greatest challenges, and the sanctity of representative government.
