"*** THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ***
'An eye-opening account of superyachts, the billionaires who buy them, and what it all means for the rest of us … [a] droll and timely analysis of extreme wealth' - Guardian
Who are America's oligarchs? What do they want? How do they operate? Is there anything that can be done to contain their power?
The ultrarich hold more of America's wealth than they did in the heyday of the Carnegies and Rockefellers. In this incisive and provocative book, Evan Osnos offers an unforgettable portrait of the tactics and obsessions driving this new Gilded Age, in which superyachts, luxury bunkers, elite tax dodges and a torrent of political donations bespeak staggering disparities of wealth and power.
With deft storytelling and meticulous reporting, Osnos explores the indulgences, incentives and psychological distortions that define our time. He delves into the unprecedented influence Silicon Valley and Wall Street have on government, drawing on in-depth interviews with Mark Zuckerberg and other billionaires. He also exposes the hidden world of the ultrarich in all its outrageous, fabulous, ridiculous detail: a private wealth manager who broke with members of an American dynasty and spilled their secrets; the pop stars who perform at lavish parties for thirteen-year-olds; the status anxieties that spill out of marinas in Monaco and Palm Beach like real-world episodes of Succession and The White Lotus.
Originally published in the New Yorker, these essays have been revised and expanded to deliver an unflinching portrait of the rise of America's modern oligarchy. Osnos's essays are a wake-up call - a case against complacency in the face of unchecked excess, as the choices of the ultrarich ripple through our lives. Entertaining, unsettling and eye-opening, The Haves and Have-Yachts couldn't be more relevant to today's world.

"Esta biografia é um exame conciso, brilhante e contundente da bem-sucedida busca de Joe Biden, ao longo de uma vida inteira, pela presidência dos Estados Unidos. Aqui, o premiado jornalista Evan Osnos revela o papel do político como vice-presidente de Barack Obama, detalha a difícil decisão de se lançar candidato no pleito de 2020 e os bastidores da luta pela nomeação do Partido Democrata e da disputa contra Donald Trump pela Casa Branca.
Com amplo acesso a Biden e munido de conversas reveladoras com mais de cem entrevistados — entre eles o ex-presidente Barack Obama, adversários e familiares do político —, Osnos revela também os problemas que atormentaram Biden e os desafios que enfrentará ao assumir as rédeas de uma nação extremamente polarizada e vitimada pela Covid-19. Também nos mostra como o presidente eleito pode ser o homem certo para a missão, com sua humanidade, sua longa experiência política, suas conexões e, principalmente, sua autenticidade.
Esta edição conta com o prefácio do jornalista Marcelo Lins."
