Phoenix Books Burlington is thrilled to host celebrated Vermont author Chuck Collins to celebrate the release of his new book, Burned by Billionaires: How Concentrated Wealth and Power Are Ruining Our Lives and Planet.

Chuck Collins is a senior scholar at the Institute for Policy Studies where he coedits Inequality.org. He is the author of several books, including Born on Third Base, The Wealth Hoarders, Wealth and Our Commonwealth (with Bill Gates Sr), and Economic Apartheid in America and Burned by Billionaires (both from The New Press). He lives in Vermont.

About the book: Even if you don’t begrudge the ultra-rich their multiple vacation homes, fancy boats, and private jets, the truth is that billionaire power touches you – where you live, what you pay for housing, what you eat, and what news you consume. In this explosive new book, Chuck Collins, a leading scholar of economic inequality, chronicles how the actions of the top .01% have severe consequences for the rest of us.

Your $3 ticket comes with a coupon for $3 off one of the featured books. Coupons expire at closing the evening of the event. Tickets can be purchased at the registration link below, or at the door.

Copies of Burned by Billionaires will be available at the event for signing and personalization.
