“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

The Oligarchs’ Grip: Fusing Wealth and Power, written by entrepreneurship professor David Lingelbach and oligarch researcher Valentina Rodríguez Guerrais 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.
