Handbook on Wealth and Super-Rich Edited by: Iain Hay, Jonathan V. Beaverstock Fewer than 100 people own and control more wealth than 50% of the world's population. The Handbook on Wealth and the Super-Rich is a landmark multi-disciplinary evaluation of both the lives and lifestyles of the super-rich, as well as the processes that underpin super-wealth generation and its unequal distribution. Drawing on international case studies, leading experts from across the social sciences offer 22 accessible and coherently organized chapters, which critically analyze a range of topics including; * the legitimacy of extreme wealth from a moral economic perspective * biographies of illicit super-wealth * London's housing markets * how the very wealthy fly * the environmental consequences of super-rich lives * crafting immigration policies to attract the rich. Students and scholars studying a host of topics such as development studies, economics, geography, history, political science and sociology will find this book eminently engaging. It will also be of great interest to public commentators, charitable organizations and NGOs concerned with wealth and income distributions.
