Description

8vo Hard Cover. First Edition. 358 pages, cloth, dj, very good. 1st edition. From the dj: 'Not since 1929 has America witnessed as dramatic a concentration of wealth in the hands of a very few as is now occurring in our country This concentration has reached the point where more than a third of the nation's wealth is held by just one percent of the population. . . Vance Packard, an author who is internationally recognized for his provocative investigations of trends in modern society, seeks answers to these questions by interviewing thirty men and women with an average net worth of $330 million. Those he spoke with include Leonard Shoen, founder of U-Haul, June Hunt, evangelist daughter of H.L. Hunt, Edward Bass, venture capitalist, and Laszlo Tauber, a surgeon, . . . Packard's interviews and his wider research thus ultimately lead him to a unique and powerfully reasoned prescription for change inour reward system.'
