Subtitle is "the global power elite and the world they are making."
6,000 people actually run the entire world, and Rothkopf's got a list!
Here's the "how to" part if you want to join:
1) be a man
2) be a Boomer
3) be a European or of European descent (so now we're up to white Boomer males)
4) go to elite school
5) go into biz or finance
6) have an institutional power base
7) get rich
8) be lucky
I'm a man, technically a Boomer, Scot-Irish, Harvard PhD, in biz with Enterra and we work finance, maybe I call Esquire my power base (along with column) and I'm definitely a lucky guy—just not a rich one yet.
Too bad the book didn't come with an application card you could fill out.
As a book trying to present a sense of the future, this one is typical: a snapshot of now that reflects the past more than the future.
