The first ever guide to oligarchs as a global and historical phenomenon.
Today, more than twenty oligarchs serve as heads of state or government in countries such as Russia, South Africa, Lebanon, and El Salvador. Many have a net worth in excess of $1 billion, and they all - whether directly or indirectly - impact our daily lives.
Who are they and how have they dominated our world? What lessons can we learn from them, and what might the future hold?
In The Oligarchs' Grip: Fusing Wealth and Power, entrepreneurship professor David Lingelbach and oligarch researcher Valentina Rodríguez Guerra draw upon more than 25 years of research (including conversations with Vladimir Putin and other oligarchs), 16 case studies, and dozens of historical examples to develop the first-ever model revealing the strategies oligarchs employ to fuse wealth and power, and transition between the two. This model gives insight into how oligarchs use multiple control mechanisms to exploit an increasingly uncertain world.
The Oligarchs' Grip is a fascinating read for economists, political scientists, business academics, policymakers, businesspeople and anyone interested in oligarchs and the wealth and power they wield on the politico-economic scene today.

"Oligarchs are, arguably, the main political actors of our era. Any attempt to try and understand who they are, what they are doing, and how they are doing it, is a worthy contribution to public debate ... The Oligarchs' Grip offers extraordinary intellectual value. This book provides a much-needed correction to so much academic literature, but even more so to popular culture and journalism." - David Siegel, PhD, Assistant Professor, St. Joseph's University, Brooklyn, New York
"Since time immemorial, oligarchs have shaped how societies function ... and planted the seeds of how they collapse. Given this, as human civilisation faces its latest crises, from environmental degradation and artificial intelligence, this book is a timely one. The portraits of oligarchs and analysis of the bases of their power helps readers to understand more fully how oligarchic power and money interact and nurture each other. No society should trust to luck that 'its' oligarchs are benign. Many are not. By explaining how oligarchs work, this book helps citizens understand how they may be made more accountable for the societies they make, and sometimes, disastrously, unmake." - Dr. Aidan McQuade, author of Ethical Leadership
