Premise
The age of extreme charity is also the age of extreme inequality. This book is an attempt to explore if there's a correlation between the two.
In the past 30 years, the number of people who own wealth equivalent to the bottom half of America went down from 300 to 8.
Win-Win
Critique
The author never once mentioned the word solidarity in the book. For a book that's essentially about criticism of charity and the motives behind it, this was unexpected.
