Dr. Rainer Zitelmann is a historian and sociologist. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, he worked at the Central Institute for Social Science Research at the Free University of Berlin. He was then appointed section head at the leading German daily newspaper "Die Welt". In 2000, he founded a real estate public relations company. Zitelmann is the author of 22 books, which have been very successful in Europe and Asia. His two most recent books are The Wealth Elite (2018) and The Power of Capitalism (2019).
"Rainer Zitelmann exposes, dissects, and quantifies the twin vices
of envy and covetousness . . . and makes it impossible for future
generations to ignore: Atlas Shrugged-with numbers and
footnotes."-Grover Norquist, president, Americans for Tax
Reform
"The Rich in Public Opinion should be the standard reference on the
subject for years to come."
"This is a timely and relevant book, not least because while
'eat-the-rich' rhetoric may be good politics, it is demonstrably a
poor guide to policy."-Kristian Niemietz, head of political
economy, Institute of Economic Affairs
"This is a very timely book about the rarely mentioned prejudice,
classism, and denigration of those with wealth and status.
Zitelmann systematically and scientifically explores why this
attitude is so pervasive."-Madsen Pirie, president, Adam Smith
Institute
"Zitelmann's book presents us with exemplary scholarship and
analysis, helping us understand the social and economic background
of how the rich are perceived, and making the case for greater
tolerance in our society. To say that it is well worth reading and
absorbing the information presented in these pages would be an
understatement, and an impoverishing one at that. I hope that as
many people as possible will read it and take its lessons to
heart."
