SUMMARY:Democracy Book Group: "The Haves and Have-Yachts: Dispatches on the
  Ultrarich"
DESCRIPTION:Join the Munich Dialogues on Democracy in-person-book-group to 
 discuss Evan Osnos' book The Haves and Have-Yachts: Dispatches on the Ult
 rarich before his talk on “The Haves and Have-Yachts – Dispatches on t
 he Ultrarich” at Amerikahaus on Tuesday\, April 21\, 2026\, at 7 p.m.\n\
 nThe 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 obsession
 s driving this new Gilded Age\, in which superyachts\, luxury bunkers\, el
 ite tax dodges and a torrent of political donations bespeak staggering dis
 parities of wealth and power.\n\nWith deft storytelling and meticulous rep
 orting\, Osnos explores the indulgences\, incentives and psychological dis
 tortions that define our time. He delves into the unprecedented influence 
 Silicon Valley and Wall Street have on government\, drawing on in-depth in
 terviews with Mark Zuckerberg and other billionaires. He also exposes the 
 hidden world of the ultrarich in all its outrageous\, fabulous\, ridiculou
 s detail: a private wealth manager who broke with members of an American d
 ynasty and spilled their secrets\; the pop stars who perform at lavish par
 ties for thirteen-year-olds\; the status anxieties that spill out of marin
 as in Monaco and Palm Beach like real-world episodes of Succession and 
 The White Lotus.\n\nOriginally 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 ch
 oices 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.\n\nRegistration: Admission is free. Please register v
 ia the MDoD website.\n\nOrganizers: A part of the Munich Dialogues on D
 emocracy Speakers Series\, a cooperation between The Yale Club of German
 y e.V. (Munich Chapter) and the Amerikahaus - Bavarian Center for Transa
 tlantic Relations.
