Pity the billionaire

Book • 2012
Thomas Frank's "Pity the Billionaire" offers a sharp critique of the pervasive influence of wealth and power in American society.

He challenges the narrative that billionaires are solely responsible for economic growth and innovation, arguing that their immense wealth often comes at the expense of the working class and democratic institutions.

Frank exposes the ways in which billionaires shape public policy and manipulate the political system to protect their interests.

The book is a call for greater economic equality and a more just distribution of wealth.

It's a provocative and timely examination of the power dynamics that shape modern America.
