Menrva's Summary
THE THESIS
This book investigates the extent to which individual billionaires exert influence over international relations and global political structures. Peter Hägel, a scholar in international politics, utilizes a framework that balances the structural constraints of the global system against the specific agency exercised by ultra-high-net-worth individuals. The text examines how private wealth translates into political power, specifically within the domains of security, global economy, and social entrepreneurship.
