Naomi Klein: Extreme wealth has a deranging effect. Turns you into a supremacist

Naomi Klein's new book, co-written with Astra Taylor, examines how tech billionaires are exploiting climate and financial crises to consolidate power, exemplified by plans discussed at Davos to privatize reconstruction efforts in Gaza. Klein argues that extreme concentrated wealth has a psychological effect that makes the ultra-rich increasingly shameless and willing to disregard public interest, as they operate without accountability or need to maintain public approval. She contends that the compounding effects of vast wealth concentrated in a small group wielding financial, technological, and military power represents an unprecedented threat to democratic society.
