'A latter-day Canterbury Tales ... Serious Money has a serious mission' The Times'Eye-opening ... part guide part indictment of a yawning wealth gap' Misha Glenny Financial Times London is a plutocrat's paradise with more resident billionaires than New York Hong Kong or Moscow. Far from trickling down their wealth is burning up the environment and swallowing up the city. But what do we really know about London's super rich and the lives they lead? To find out more about this secretive elite sociologist Caroline Knowles walks the streets of London from the City to suburban Surrey. Her walks reveal how the wealthy shape the capital in their image creating a new world of gated communities and luxury developments. Along the way we meet a wide and wickedly entertaining cast of millionaires billionaires and those who serve them: bankers tech tycoons Conservative party donors butlers bodyguards divorce lawyers and many more. By turns jaw-dropping enraging and enlightening Serious Money explodes the fiction that wealth is a condition to aspire to revealing the isolation and paranoia which accompany it when the plutocrat's recompense - a life of unlimited luxury - ultimately proves hollow. It is a powerful reminder that it is not just the super-rich who get to make the city: we make it too and could demand something different. Because serious money is good for no one - not even the rich. 'An eye-opening deeply disturbing fast-moving journey through the lives homes and affairs of the filthy rich of London' Danny Dorling author of All That Is Solid 'A wonderful and vital account of a city ruled by and for extreme wealth' Anna Minton author of Big Capital
