Reviews
"If you've wondered how today's rich live--why they speed past us at ball games and amusement parks, how a select few never have to wait to see top doctors--you need to read The Velvet Rope Economy . You'll never look at boarding a plane--or privilege and polarization--the same way." --Charles Duhigg, bestselling author of The Power of Habit "Through vivid illustrations and systematic analysis, this brilliantly argued book demonstrates the corrosive impact of growing inequality on society. Almost everywhere one looks--amusement parks, stadiums, planes, college admissions, and health care--we are being segregated into castes. A must read." --Emmanuel Saez, Professor of Economics, University of California, Berkeley "Nelson D. Schwartz's book uses vivid and detailed reporting to advance an important, novel, and ultimately scary argument about the ways that inequality is changing our economy. Anyone interested in the topic of inequality should read this book." --Jason Furman, former Chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, "If you've wondered how today's rich live--why they speed past us at ball games and amusement parks, how a select few never have to wait to see top doctors--you need to read The Velvet Rope Economy . You'll never look at boarding a plane--or privilege and polarization--the same way." --Charles Duhigg, bestselling author of The Power of Habit "A masterpiece of beautifully written, carefully reported social commentary. Schwartz is able to take everyday things we already know--like the fact that the rich get to live a life entirely distinct from the rest of us--and shows, through colorful tales and great storytelling, that this is no curiosity. It is an indictment, a warning, a prediction, and a nuanced vision of our society. This book will become essential reading to understand this moment. But don't let the grandness of his work scare you: it's a fun, surprising read filled with unexpected peeks into the perquisites of superwealth." --Adam Davidson, co-founder of Planet Money and author of The Passion Economy: The New Rules for Thriving in the Twenty-First Century "Sometimes it takes real insight to understand what is staring you in the face. How often have you gritted your teeth as someone strolled past you to the front of the line? Or watched the curtain close to block your view of the passengers in first class? Schwartz decided not just to document all the ways our business culture has learned to cater to the rich at the expense of the rest of us, but to explain why it matters. It's an eye-opening exploration of a trend with many consequences, none of them good." --Joe Nocera, columnist, Bloomberg Opinion, and author of A Piece of the Action: How the Middle Class Joined the Money Class "Through vivid illustrations and systematic analysis, this brilliantly argued book demonstrates the corrosive impact of growing inequality on society. Almost everywhere one looks--amusement parks, stadiums, planes, college admissions, and health care--we are being segregated into castes.

Synopsis
From New York Times business reporter Nelson D. Schwartz comes a gripping investigation of how a virtual velvet rope divides Americans in every arena of life, creating a friction-free existence for those with money on one side and a Darwinian struggle for the middle class on the other side. In nearly every realm of daily life--from health care to education, highways to home security--there is an invisible velvet rope that divides how Americans live. On one side of the rope, for a price, red tape is cut, lines are jumped, appointments are secured, and doors are opened. On the other side, middle- and working-class Americans fight to find an empty seat on the plane, a place in line with their kids at the amusement park, a college acceptance, or a hospital bed. We are all aware of the gap between the rich and everyone else, but when we weren't looking, business innovators stepped in to exploit it, shifting services away from the masses and finding new ways to profit by serving the privileged. And as decision-makers and corporate leaders increasingly live on the friction-free side of the velvet rope, they are less inclined to change--or even notice--the obstacles everyone else must contend with. Schwartz's "must read" book takes us on a behind-the-scenes tour of this new reality and shows the toll the velvet rope divide takes on society., From New York Times business reporter Nelson D.

- c***r (558)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufBook exactly as specified, rapid international delivery (USA to UK), and a reasonable price for an out-of-print book. I was also very pleased and reassured by the quality of packaging for the book. It arrived in a cardboard box, and inside, it had brown paper to pad out the box, plus brown paper around the book to further protect it. This meant the book survived international shipping in great condition. On that basis, I highly recommend this seller.Hardstyle Abs: Hit Hard. Lift Heavy. Look the Part. by in New (Nr. 127042788743)
