Eavesdropping on the rich

In Serious Money, Caroline Knowles presents a guided tour of the spaces and lifestyles of London's super-rich. Written in an engaging and accessible manner that draws the reader into spaces and conversations otherwise out of bounds, Knowles subtly exposes the paradoxes inherent within the life and politics of the super-rich in London. She asks simple questions: Who are plutocrats? How do they think about themselves, other people, London? Where does their money come from? How do they spend it?
