DEADLINE EXTENDED: Get 30% Off Chuck Collins’ New Book!
The rapid concentration of America’s wealth in the hands of a few billionaires is one of the greatest threats to our democracy, economy, and planet.
Diagnosing that problem — and treating it — has been the life’s work of IPS senior scholar Chuck Collins, who directs our Program on Inequality and co-edits our essential Inequality.org website.
We want you to be the first to know that Chuck’s got a new book coming out soon called Burned by Billionaires: How Concentrated Wealth and Power is Ruining Our Lives and Planet. Kirkus Reviews calls it “an informed and measured exploration of the myriad harms billionaires impose.”
You can save 30 percent off if you pre-order the book before October 7! Order the book at The New Press and enter the code “BBB30” before Wednesday, October 7.
Chuck will be also doing a series of book events this fall, both in person and online. Find more info about events here, or contact Jamie McGonagill if you’re interested in hosting one.
