Giants

A look at the top 200 most powerful players in world capitalism, who are at the controls of our economic future.

As the number of men with as much wealth as half the world fell from sixty-two to just eight between January 2016 and January 2017, according to Oxfam International, fewer than 200 super-connected asset managers at only 17 asset management firms--each with well over a trillion dollars in assets under management--now represent the financial core of the world''s transnational capitalist class. Former Project Censored director and media monitoring sociologist Peter Phillips unveils for the general reader his analysis of the new global elite that is the hand at the controls of our economic future.
Members of the global power elite are the management--the facilitors--of world capitalism, the firewall protecting the capital investment, growth, and debt collection that keeps the status quo from changing. Each chapter in Giants identifies by name the members of this international club of multi-millionaires so the reader, for the first time anywhere, can really get to know who these people are.
