According to Jack Luzkow's new book, "Monopoly Restored: How The Super-Rich Robbed Main Street," the wealth of the ultra-wealthy has been based on inheritance, tax evasion, political influence, or wage theft. Much of their wealth is from ownership or control of scarce assets or assets artificially made scarce. As a result many of the super-rich reap their wealth from patents, monopolies, and subsidies.
"Monopoly Restored" explains how expensive the rich have become, why they are unsustainable for the rest of us, and what the way forward to greater economic equality might be.
