Summary
‘Infuriating… Wilkin’s main claim is that the super-rich have discovered ‘secret’ ways of both making and preserving their fortunes… like [Capital author Thomas] Piketty, Wilkin has a love-hate relationship with capitalism. He takes the view that most billionaires are rich because, one way or another, they have found ways to rig the market.’ - The Times
What does it take to make a fortune?
Hard work? Great ideas? Intelligence? Busines…
