Rich white men : what it takes to uproot the Old Boys' Club and transform America / by Neiman, Garrett,author.(CARDINAL)883668;
Bibliographical references (pages 301-344) and index."It's no secret that our country has a serious problem when it comes to wealth inequality--and systemic racism and patriarchy have only exacerbated the advantages of wealthy white men. Over the past three decades, America's richest white men have only become richer, while those suffering in poverty have only gotten poorer. The divide may seem too great to bridge, but Rich White Men exposes the hidden and insidious ways that white male elites inherit, increase, and preserve their status--and, in this book, we get clear on how to uproot their monopoly on power. Serial nonprofit entrepreneur Garrett Neiman's day job is to get rich white men to donate money to good causes and organizations. In Rich White Men, Neiman brings us into corner offices of billionaires and the boardrooms of Goldman Sachs, McKinsey, Stanford, Harvard, and other enclaves of silver-spooned white men to illuminate the role of rich white men in the world and how they justify inequality. He uses the analogy of compound interest to illustrate how the advantages wealthy white men inherit give them a leg up at key moments in their lives, gilding their trajectories and shutting others out. Through this rare, insider access, readers will discover new ways to persuade the elite toward progressive solutions. A hopeful polemic, the book sheds light on dark truths about inequality and the people invested in preserving it while also providing a blueprint for how America can become an equitable democracy. Rich White Men reveals that to realize America's founding aspiration of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, we must recognize, dismantle, and transform our current system into one that liberates us all--including this nation's morally and spiritually impoverished wealthy white men"--How the Old Boys' Club reproduces itself : Compounding unearned advantage -- Wealth and opportunity -- White advantage -- Male advantage -- Intersectional advantage -- The exception factory -- The people of color ranking system -- Blaming the victim -- The luck defense -- Becoming equitable : Intersectional equity -- Antimonopoly -- Abolishing poverty -- A culture of repair -- A healing society -- Embracing feminine leadership -- Restoring connection -- Transforming the power structure.
