BOOK REVIEW- The Economics of Discontent from Failing Elites to The Rise of Populism

Abstract

This book focusses on identifying and explaining the glaring difference in income between the very wealthy entrepreneurs who constitute 1% of the population and the impoverished who constitute the other 99% of the population. Unlike other books on this topic such as The Price of Inequality by Nobel Laureate, leader of the World Bank and The International Monetary Fund, Joseph Stiglitz, the book under review is concise whilst retaining the best features of Stiglitz book, namely highly credible sources of data, but without repetition.
