Rosita Armytage

Big Capital in an Unequal World (eBook, ePUB)

The Micropolitics of Wealth in Pakistan

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Inside the hidden lives of the global "1%", this book examines the networks, social practices, marriages, and machinations of Pakistan's elite.

Benefitting from rare access and keen analytical insight, Rosita Armytage's rich study reveals the daily, even mundane, ways in which elites contribute to and shape the inequality that characterizes the modern world. Operating in a rapidly developing economic environment, the experience of Pakistan's wealthiest and most powerful members contradicts widely held assumptions that economic growth is leading to increasingly impersonalized and globally standardized economic and political structures.
