Davos man: how the billionaires devoured the world
Peter Goodman, Mariner Books, £14.99
THIS is a deeply researched book about the tiny minority of billionaires who we allow to exploit the peoples of the world while they pillage the world’s resources.
The term “Davos Man” was coined by political scientist Samuel Huntington who first used it in a 2004 essay in which he described people so enriched by globalisation that they are effectively living without loyalty to any particular nation.
Goodman demonstrates how the world’s economies are run by and for the 1 per cent, at the expense of the 99 per cent.
