About this audiobook
• The rich have always existed because inequality is natural. • With hard work, anyone can become rich. • We criticize the rich out of jealousy. • The rich spend and invest. • The rich create jobs. • The rich take risks and innovate. • The more rich there are, the fewer poor there are. • The rich pay a lot of taxes. Philippe Richard, PhD in economics, analyzes some twenty preconceived ideas about the rich and social inequality. By precisely dissecting the economic data, the author provides factual evidence about the liberal doctrine and the excesses of our capitalism. The author also asks essential questions concerning the future of our society: • Is it a good thing that the fortune of a minority skyrockets, while the majority is in greater insecurity? • Do the rich represent an opportunity or a threat to the balance of our democracy? • Can our society survive with such inequalities? An excellent educational tool to put in everyone’s hands to understand why the rich are a problem. Philippe Richard has a doctorate in economics and has been a consultant to employee representatives for 20 years. He is the author of two published works: Abolishing the right to wealth, and For a fairer society: Manifesto for a cap on income and wealth.
