The top 1 percent of Americans control 40 percent of the nation's wealth. And, as Joseph E. Stiglitz explains, while those at the top enjoy the best health care, education, and benefits of wealth, they fail to realize that "their fate is bound up with how the other 99 percent live." Stiglitz draws on his deep understanding of economics to show that growing inequality is not inevitable. He examines our current state, then teases out its implications for democracy, for monetary and budgetary policy, and for globalization. He closes with a plan for a more just and prosperous future.

Welches Feld spannen die Begriffe Macht und Masse auf? Und wie bedingen sie einander? Elias Canetti seziert in seinem soziologischen Hauptwerk "Masse und Macht", wie der Gehorsam der Einzelnen und der Vielen entsteht, worin Führerkulte begründet liegen, wie Machtfiguren Menschenmassen bewegen, aber auch wie im Gegenzug Menschenmassen Macht ausüben. Durch Elias Canettis sprachliche Genauigkeit, die stilistische Brillanz seiner essayistischen Ausführungen und den interdisziplinären Ansatz entwickeln die Thesen des Autors eine besondere Kraft und treffen damals wie heute einen Nerv.
