The 9.9 Percent: The New Aristocracy That Is Entrenching Inequality and Warping Our Culture Free Audiobook Download by Matthew Stewart

In the United States, the wealthy have never been more prosperous, and the poor have never been more desperate. The rich are getting richer, and so is our culture, which is being warped by a new aristocracy that has amassed power, influence and profit from the old.

In this book, author Matthew Stewart argues that we are living in an unprecedented era of economic inequality.

As the new aristocracy rises, we are left with a society that is becoming less diverse and more conforming to social norms. The 9.9 Percent exposes this phenomenon in 2016 by examining median income, cultural attitudes, economic inequality, and the state of our culture.

9.9 percent: the new aristocrats. In this dystopian science fiction story, a liberal society is ruled by an oligarchy and everyone is catered to by the privileged class. This ruling elite consists of two groups: scientists and artists who are protected from poverty with lifetime jobs, and a new wealthy class that has all been given employment status, meaning they have access to all of life's necessities without having to work for it.

As the economic chasm between the top 1% and the bottom 99% widens, America's growing inequality has led to a new aristocracy that is entrenching itself in a process that warps our culture along with it.

The 9.9 Percent is a fascinating audiobook that traces the "rise of a new aristocracy" in America, the effects of which may be permanent. The book explains how the wealthy and powerful have been able to create "an economy that is perverse and unsustainable."
