Will extreme wealth destroy democracy?
Making Money
Introduction
Exploring the impact of extreme wealth on democracy and capitalism, drawing insights from Martin Wolf's book and discussing challenges, failures, and potential solutions.
If capitalism continues to go uncontrolled it will destroy democracy, says Martin Wolf, Chief Economics Commentator at the Financial Times. In his book 'The Crisis of Democratic Capitalism' he argues that market capitalism and democracy rely on each other to function but that both are failing. How did we get here, what’s at stake, and is there anything we can do?

This is not financial advice. The reason it’s not financial advice is because it’s not tailored to you. We explain the principles of building wealth but if you want personalised advice, it’s worth speaking to a financial advisor. As with everything financial, please do your own research. We really encourage that because no one cares more about your money than you and if you learn the basics then it will change your life.
