Jackpot: How the Super-Rich Really Live - and How Their Wealth Harms Us All

3.5 stars
I feel as if this book has two parts. The first details the lives of the ultra wealthy. How they earn (or inherit) their money, how they avoid paying fair taxes, how they spend it, how they keep it and how they give it away. To be honest, I personally find rich people pretty boring so I struggled to get through this part. The second part, however, talks more about wealth inequity and why it exists and how it is getting worse. The author does a good job of laying out the issues and I found the information absorbing yet infuriating. While I wish the book was more focused on the information in the second part, I still found it informative. I received a digital ARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
