Ed,
I think most of us would agree that Chrystia Freeland is one of the
most perceptive commentators around.
As for me, having been deprived of decent reading/thinking material
after a fortnight in an acute hospital ward, her book will serve as a
welcome (?) into the real world.
I imagine her book is an extension of a long essay she wrote on
Reuters about a year ago after a series of interviews with some of
the richest men in the world.

Chrystia Freeland has a new book out, "Plutocrats". I looked at it
as a bookstore today, but at $32 I decided to wait for the paperback
edition or at least until next payday. What it deals with is the
tremendous disparity in wealth between the very rich and the
99%. Henry George figures into it because Freeland says that a lot
of the income the very rich get is derived from owning, not
producing, i.e. they are "rentiers".
Freeland, who comes from remote northern Alberta, has done very well
as an international journalist. I believe Harry Pollard knew her
when she was a child.
