The first ever guide to oligarchs as a global and historical phenomenon. Today, more than twenty oligarchs serve as heads of state or government in countries such as Russia, South Africa, Lebanon, and El Salvador. Many have a net worth in excess of $1 billion, and they all - whether directly or indirectly - impact our daily lives. Who are they and how have they dominated our world? What lessons can we learn from them, and what might the future hold? In The Oligarchs' Grip: Fusing Wealth and Power, entrepreneurship professor David Lingelbach and oligarch researcher Valentina Rodriguez Guerra draw upon more than 25 years of research (including conversations with Vladimir Putin and other oligarchs), 16 case studies, and dozens of historical examples to develop the first-ever model revealing the strategies oligarchs employ to fuse wealth and power, and transition between the two. This model gives insight into how oligarchs use multiple control mechanisms to exploit an increasingly uncertain world. The Oligarchs' Grip is 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.

In Games Without Thrones, entrepreneurship professor David Lingelbach and oligarch researcher Valentina Rodríguez Guerra show how we can all learn from oligarchs, even if we don’t like them. These masters of uncertainty have found their moment again in the early 21st century, when several existential threats have overturned our ability to predict the future. Paradoxically, oligarchs hold the intellectual keys that will enable the rest of us to exploit the coming storms. This book describes these keys as eightleadership lessons that can become a new playbook, enabling all of us to play and win the newgames without thrones.This book makes three major points:• Oligarchs are at the center of our worlds now, shaping the global economy in which we allwork and the politics that help determine our life choices. Understanding their centrality iskey to understanding how the world works.• Oligarchs provide us with eight lessons to enable us to be more effective leaders. The firstthree lessons comprise their distinctive Weltanschauung or worldview. They see the worldvery differently than the rest of us.• Oligarchs offer us five specific strategies—four of which were first elaborated in our TheOligarchs’ Grip and developed further in our forthcoming The Oligarchs of the Americas—tolead during times of crisis and turbulence. Those times are likely to dominate ourprofessional lives, no matter where we live.
