In this compelling and provocative book, Sayer shows how wealth shapes our experiences from the cradle to the grave. He reveals how the wealthy enjoy better health, education, and housing than the poor. They have more power and influence in society. They are more likely to be happy and to live longer lives. And they are more likely to pass on their wealth to their children, perpetuating the cycle of inequality.

But Sayer also shows that wealth is not just about money. It's about power, status, and privilege. It's about the ability to shape the world around us in our own image. And it's about the ability to control the lives of others.

Sayer argues that we need to rethink our relationship to wealth. We need to move beyond the simplistic idea that wealth is simply a reward for hard work and talent. We need to understand the complex ways in which wealth shapes our lives and the lives of others. And we need to find ways to create a more just and equitable world, where everyone has a fair chance to succeed.
