About the Book

To be able to simply drift in the infinity pool on the roof terrace of the fifty-seven-floor Marina Bay Sands Hotel, while in the background you can enjoy the urban soundscape of Singapore’s imposing sea of high-rises. Or to be personally welcomed to a private champagne party after an extended hot-air balloon ride over the Kenyan wilderness. The extravagant pleasures of the wealthiest one percent of the earth’s population represent an extreme contrast to those of the remaining ninety-nine. Describing the gaping disparities in images is a challenge that has been taken up by Nina Berman, Peter Bialobrzeski, Guillaume Bonn, Mikhael Subotzky, and many others photographers. The volume assembles their works for the purpose of lending visual evidence to the blatant discrepancy between people’s living conditions, which can be as fascinating as it is shocking.

Review :
Glossy and disturbing, curated by a rising leader and visionary in our industry-- "The Huffington Post" Gorgeous-- "Refinery29" Haunting-- "The Independent" Impressive-- "Stern" Incredible...fascinating...unique-- "The Washington Post" Inequality isn't just a number. It has a real human impact. This book shows us the images - from the sky scrapping swimming pools of Singapore to the blur of a trader's Bloomberg screen - that have become the backdrop to a new and disturbing economic era.--Rana Foroohar "Time, Best Photobooks of 2016" This marvelously curated collection begins with choice trappings of the world's wealthiest one percent--luxury high-rises, plastic surgery, fancy boardrooms--and gradually blends in views of the have-nots.--Jack Crager "American Photo" Totally unexpected-- "Business Insider"
