The Global Elite

Who really has the power to write laws, start and end wars, shape the economy, and sway public opinion? You’ll find more than 200 of them here. In this book’s four sections, you will meet: The Power Elite: The political and military leaders and influencers who wield law, regulation, and lethal force to set the boundaries of our lives. The Money Elite: The bankers, investors, and philanthropists who allocate the world’s stored value, past and future. The Maker Elite: The government and corporate leaders who build our infrastructure and control the global supply chain, from natural resource extraction to retail storefronts and home delivery. The Media Elite: The propagandists, tech and media moguls, as well as the teachers—secular and religious—who control what we think and what we think we know. Introduced by an incisive essay defining what it means to be “elite,” this book shuns murky Deep State mythologising to reveal the true sources of might and influence, often hidden in plain sight. The reality of the global elite is stranger (and far more interesting) than any conspiracy theory.
