A so so book. I had read "Richistan" by the same author and happened to pick this book up also. So we learn the rich are dwindling but making more than ever. And the wide ups and downs that we have witnessed over the past several decades.

And beyond the stories of real life folks who experienced these rides not a great deal to learn here. Other than we can expect more of the same as we settle to to a future of perpetual bust for most and ups and downs for the lucky few.
