Should we be concerned by the emergence of a set of unbelievably wealthy men? Do the likes of Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk signal return to the age of the "robber baron" of the likes of Andrew Carnegie? They have the ability to make the world a better place through extraordinary acts of philanthopy - but can their efforts distort public policy, along the lines of their whims? Evan Davis and his guests discuss the inner drives that transform these individuals from just rich to hyper-rich.
Guests:
Dr. Katharina Rietzler, lecturer in American history at Sussex University
Paul Vallely, author "Philanthropy: From Aristotle to Zuckerberg"
Manfred Kets de Vries, professor of leadership development and organizational change, INSEAD
Abigail Disney, documentary filmmaker, granddaughter of Roy Disney

Producer: Julie Ball
