The Poor and the Plutocrats is an examination of financial inequality. From Apple, the first trillion-dollar company, at one end of the spectrum to those living in dire poverty on the other, Francis Teal explains how a world has emerged where both of these extremes co-exist.

Francis Teal has worked on labour market questions for both rich and poor countries, mainly in sub-Saharan Africa. It is this background that informs the approach adopted in this book to understanding the sources of inequality; a global and pressing concern. He was a Deputy Director of the Centre for the Study of African Economies (CSAE) at the University of Oxford from 1996 until his retirement in 2012. He is now a managing editor of Oxford Economic Papers and Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of African Economies. Before joining the Centre in 1991 Francis Teal held positions in Tanzania at the Tanzania Investment Bank, in the UK at the National Institute of Economics and Social Research and the School of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London and in Australia at the Bureau of Agricultural Economics and the Australian National University.
