Wealth and the Wealthy is a fascinating and detailed commentary on wealth, not only in its conventional context, but also in its many facets. The author delves into how Americans of various diversities bring to the table by virtue of their very own uniqueness a valuable service that we not only as Americans profit from but the international market as well.
One of the more interesting points about the book is that the author, in seeking to satisfy a seeming thirst on the part of the hoi polloi in how the other half lives, succeeds with some irony in the shocking revelation that the masses are in some respects the other half. As Americans they are not only likely to be the owners of high-tech gadgets in their homes, but they are also the consumers of services and products given them by billion-dollar, Fortune 500 companies.
