Tempi di evasione dell'ordine comunicati al momento dell'acquisto.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eA sociologist uncovers the secret lives of London's wealthiest residents - and how their money shapes the city for everyone else\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e London is a plutocrat's paradise, with more resident billionaires than New York, Hong Kong or Moscow. Far from trickling down, their wealth is burning up the environment and swallowing up the city. But what do we really know about London's super rich, and the lives they lead?\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e To find out more about this secretive elite, sociologist Caroline Knowles walks the streets of London from the City to suburban Surrey. Her walks reveal how the wealthy shape the capital in their image, creating a new world of gated communities and luxury developments. A move behind closed doors takes us ever further into the dark heart of the plutocratic city, from multimillion-dollar mansions to gentlemen's clubs. Along the way we meet a wide and wickedly entertaining cast of millionaires, billionaires and those who serve them: bankers, aristocrats, tech tycoons, Conservative party donors, butlers, bodyguards, divorce lawyers and many more.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Jaw-dropping, enraging and enlightening, \u003ci\u003eSerious Money\u003c\/i\u003e explodes the fiction that wealth is a condition to aspire to, revealing the isolation and paranoia which accompany it when the plutocrat's recompense - a life of unlimited luxury - ultimately proves hollow. It is a powerful reminder that it is not just the super-rich who get to make the city: we make it too, and could demand something different. Because serious money is good for no one - not even the rich.","brand":"Libreria Fiore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54039578411354,"sku":null,"price":15.68,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7382\/1274\/files\/14745743482238.jpg?v=1776780629","url":"https:\/\/libreriafiore.it\/products\/serious-money-walking-plutocratic-london","provider":"Libreria Fiore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
