** The Wealth Elite

The super rich are the subject of intense scrutiny. Entrepreneurs, financiers, property magnets, and beloved celebrities have accrued wealth most of us can only dream of by providing services, creating products or entertaining. But what do we really know about them? How have our views of them changed since the days of JD Rockefeller and JP Morgan?

The uber rich are frequently subject to politicisation and social media scrutiny. Despite all the attention, they are typically painted as monolithic: defined by their high net worth as opposed to any proper understanding of their history, motivations, attitudes and psychology.

In this webinar, we will debunk the myths and delve into what makes the super rich tick: the personality traits, experiences and strategies that enabled them to generate enormous wealth, often from humble beginnings.

For this special webinar, the ASI’s Dr Madsen Pirie will be in conversation with Dr Rainer Zitelmann:
* Dr Rainer Zitelmann holds doctorates in history and sociology. 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 major daily newspaper, Die Welt. His recent book, The Wealth Elite, delves into the subject of this webinar.
* Dr Madsen Pirie is the co-founder and President of the Adam Smith Institute, a UK neoliberal think tank which has been in operation since 1977.

Finally, today was the last day of our gap year intern Julia Behan. She's written a goodbye blog here ([link removed]) . Charlie Paice also left us to head off to university a fortnight ago, his goodbye blog is here ([link removed]) . Both Charlie and Julia are utterly irreplacable and have been wonderful members of a team that has helped to change the country for the better this year. I, and all of us here, will miss them and wish them the very best as they head off to study less and party more.

But new versions of them we must find, and we're still looking for a gap year intern for next year. Applications are now open ([link removed]) , so please do encourage anyone that wants paid work helping the causes of freedom between school and university from September this year to get in touch!

Yours,
