The Superclass - politicians, military leaders, finance gurus, energy barons, media moguls and thought leaders - is the small group that currently plays the greatest role in shaping the progress of globalization and perhaps the group most changed by that phenomenon, so much so that they have more in common with one another than they do with their own countrymen. Rothkopf reveals who is a member of this class and who is likely to be joining it and transforming it in the years ahead. And he will explore how the aggressive pursuit of self-interest by some of them helped to create a world in which inequity is greater than ever - something that may well threaten international stability in our lifetimes.
