The super-rich are often portrayed as self-made, but is this true? In his latest graphic book, celebrated cartoonist Darryl Cunningham examines the evidence, featuring graphic biographies of media baron Rupert Murdoch, oil and gas tycoons Charles and David Koch, and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.

Despite the growing inequality in the world, are such wealthy individuals necessary to finance progress? Would we be porter without them? Is this the world we want?

  • Curated in Favorite Books I Read This Spring
The proliferation of YA comics and non-fiction all-ages comics is, in my opinion, one of the more exciting publishing developments. Towards the end of the spring, I started picking up a bunch of stuff from our library’s “graphic novel” section. I liked the drawings in this volume a bit more than Cunningham’s Putin’s Russia: The Rise of a Dictator — I enjoy his stuff more when he stays more abstract in his drawings. Both books are quite timely and well-worth reading.
