Mastering the Universe by Rob Larson: A great debate on capitalism v. socialism

An inkling into the financial elites and their exorbitantly expensive wealth and the class warfare. The author highlights the rich classes role in climate change and rising inequality. The narration reveals the author’s anger against the self-centred rich. Tax-he argues-has bridged the gap between the rich and the rest to some extent. The rich elites can steer politics, he narrates. The anecdotes are interesting leaving us gasping at the lives of the rich and powerful. The book also sees the contributions of the financial elites for the development of research and upliftment of the needy. He rightly notes that while the rich enjoy private jets, the middle class is forced to buy expensive electric vehicles. The book ends with a great debate on capitalism v. socialism and the need to move towards democratic socialism.
