When I read the introduction to this book I was excited to keep reading. I feel as though I can relate to Collins because both my parents are affluent, and as a result, I have lived a relatively worry-free life. I find it interesting when Collins states that living in a society filled with what he refers to as "economic apartheid" is non-beneficial, even to the 1 percent. The book also appears to be very heartfelt in nature. Collins gave away a half-a-million dollar trust to explore other opportunities in life, so it is clear he is serious about what he is writing about. The book does a good job analyzing the different characters in the American economy as well. Everyone has a role but no one appears to be labeled a victim or perpetrator. There is a humanizing aspect to his writing that makes his ideas easy to understand as well. His discussion on what it means to be wealthy was particularly interesting. I also appreciate the idea of empathy guiding his though...
