Download or read book Billionaires written by Darryl Cunningham and published by Drawn & Quarterly. This book was released on 2021-05-20 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An informative and funny deconstruction of how the giants of American capitalism shape our world In Billionaires, Darryl Cunningham offers an illuminating analysis of the origins and ideological evolutions of four key players in the American private sector—Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos, media mogul Rupert Murdoch, and oil and gas tycoons Charles and David Koch. What emerges is a vital critique of American capitalism and the power these individuals have to assert a corrupting influence on policy-making, political campaigns, and society writ large. Cunningham focuses on a central question: Can the world afford to have a tiny global elite squander resources and hold unprecedented political influence over the rest of us? The answer is detailed through hearty research, common sense reasoning, and astute comedic timing. Billionaires reveals how the fetishized free market operates in direct opposition with the health of our planet and needs of the most vulnerable -- how Murdoch’s media mergers facilitated his war-mongering, how Amazon’s litigiousness and predatory acquisitions made them “The Everything Store,” and how the Kochs’ father’s refineries literally fueled Nazi Germany. In criticizing the uncontrolled reach of power by Rupert Murdoch (in fueling the far right), the Koch Brothers (in advocating for climate change denial), and Jeff Bezos (in creating unsafe working conditions), Cunningham speaks truth to power. Billionaires ends by suggesting alternatives for a safer and more just society.

Book excerpt: Most people would think that as a billionaire I don’t have real problems. Money makes the world go around, right? I’m not exactly a guy weighed down with most people’s concerns. There’s just one small problem. I’ve given up on love and family. Women have come and gone through my life, but I’ve never found a connection that felt like it’d last more than a few weeks. So, no wife, no kids. After all, I want someone who isn’t just a gold-digger looking for her sugar daddy. I wasn’t looking for anything with my gorgeous new assistant Morgan. Hell, I’d hired her thinking she was married. Turns out she’s been separated from her husband for years and about to be divorced. It also turns out that she’s into me, which was more than willing to demonstrate by kissing me in a bar. A little love being in the air’s always nice, but the next thing I know I’m saddled with my sister’s infant daughter. I might be a successful businessman, but I don’t know anything about babies. Not a lot of them on my board of directors. Morgan might be into me, but she’s got her own issues for the past, a deep pain related to a child she lost, and I don’t know if she can take being around my niece. So, yeah, sometimes being a billionaire doesn’t help. I have a duty to raise my niece, but that may cost me Morgan and a chance at true love.
