520    "A senior editor at Mother Jones dives into the lives of 
       the extremely rich, showing the fascinating, otherworldly 
       realm they inhabit-and the insidious ways this realm harms
       us all"--|cProvided by publisher. 
520    Striking it rich is among the most resilient of American 
       fantasies; we dream of the jackpot, the life-altering 
       payday, in whatever form that takes. But rarely do we 
       follow the fantasy to its conclusion: to ponder the social,
       psychological, and societal downsides of great affluence 
       and the fact that so few possess it. Featuring dozens of 
       interviews with fortunate citizens, Mechanic shares a 
       compassionate, character-rich, perversely humorous, and 
       ultimately troubling journey into the American wealth 
       fantasy and where it has taken us. -- adapted from jacket
