Ferdinand Lundberg's The Rich and the Super-Rich tears back the gilded curtain on American wealth, presenting a meticulous and unflinching examination of the financial dynasties and power brokers who quietly control the nation's economic and political destiny. Drawing on exhaustive research, Lundberg chronicles the accumulated fortunes of America's elite, arguing with prosecutorial precision that true power is concentrated in the hands of a remarkably small number of families and institutions, far removed from the democratic ideals the country professes to uphold.\n\nA landmark work of investigative journalism and social criticism, The Rich and the Super-Rich stands as a bold successor to Lundberg's earlier classic, America's 60 Families, updating and expanding its thesis for the mid-twentieth century. Lundberg's style is sharp, sardonic, and relentlessly documented, illuminating the mechanisms — tax loopholes, inherited trusts, political patronage, and corporate influence — through which dynastic wealth perpetuates itself across generations. Decades after its initial publication, this work remains a vital and unsettling lens through which to understand the fault lines of American society — leaving the reader to wonder just how much, if anything, has truly changed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49269343092955,"sku":"2026200016867-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/e901312e-c63e-48b7-b754-568b140e6318.png?v=1788998786","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200016867-secondhand-the-rich-and-the-super-rich","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
