Mastering the Universe by Rob Larson

Mastering the Universe by Rob Larson

Economist Rob Larson combines wit, righteous anger, and clear-eyed analysis as he dissects the lifestyle, moral bankruptcy, and stupidly large sums of money hoarded by the disgustingly wealthy.

"A field guide to the zany world of the wealthyMastering the Universe is like Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous for readers who want to eat them"
—Malcolm Harris, author Palo Alto

“‘God gave me my money,’ John D. Rockefeller sometimes claimed. For our new Gilded Age, Rob Larson offers an engaging analysis of the billionaire class and where their wealth and power really comes from.”

—Bhaskar Sunkara, President of The Nation and founding editor Jacobin

“Not only does Rob Larson skillfully lay out all the facts about our rich—how much money they have, what they do with it, the lies they hire people to tell us, their abuse of nature—he also stokes a refreshing contempt for these vile, often ridiculous people. Energizing!”
—Doug Henwood, economic journalist and broadcaster

“Rob Larson's work is not only solidly grounded but also lucid and accessible, a most valuable contribution to public understanding and vitally needed action."
—Noam Chomsky
