"Author of The Divine Right of Capital exposes the myths of capitalism today and calls for an end to wealth supremacy and capital bias. Wealth Supremacy makes a case that no one else is making: instead of pointing to billionaires as the sole problem or being another analysis of wealth inequality, it clearly articulates the pervasive, unnamed bias toward wealth that invisibly pervades the system. We know the system is rigged-what isn't commonly understood is how. Marjorie Kelly skillfully reveals how bias toward capital works, breaking down the pretenses that legitimize and obscure the deep operating system that drives large corporations and extractive investing"-- Provided by publisher

Wealth inequity, corporate welfare, and industrial pollution are the symptoms of our sickened economy, Marjorie Kelly suggests. The underlying illness is shareholder primacy. In The Divine Right of Capital, she shows that the corporate drive to maximize shareholder profits at any cost is not only out of step with democratic and free-market principles, but is detrimental to the long-term health of individual companies and the economy as a whole. Kelly offers a far-reaching solution to rebuild corporations in a way that serves all.
