Author Talk: Chuck Collins on "Burned By Billionaires"

Working for Democracy, a local Walpole, NH group, invites you to a book talk with Chuck Collins, author of "Burned by Billionaires: How Concentrated Wealth and Power are Ruining Our Lives and Planet": https://www.burnedbybillionaires.com/ "Burned by Billionaires: How Concentrated Wealth and Power Are Ruining Our Lives and Planet" by Chuck Collins is a book that argues extreme wealth concentration among the ultra-rich negatively impacts society, politics, and the planet, leading to issues like political hijacking, housing crises, and environmental damage. Collins, a scholar at the Institute for Policy Studies, details how the actions of the top 0.01% rig the system in their favor, undermining democracy and creating a “myth of meritocracy”. The book serves as both a critique and a call to action, offering solutions for a more equitable society with universal abundance. Seating is limited. RSVP is required by emailing rsvp.walpole@gmail.com. Please indicate if you would like to join the event via Zoom, and we will send you the link before the event.
