Our Lives in Their Portfolios

In this thought-provoking follow-up to Rentier Capitalism, Brett Christophers explores how asset managers have become the new powerhouses behind critical infrastructure, from roads to water systems and healthcare facilities. Instead of long-term stewardship, these firms prioritize rapid buying and selling for quick profits, raising questions about their influence on everyday life and the environment. The book reveals the rising dominance of asset managers and the potential implications for society.
