In Defence of Wealth counters those arguing that a healthy economy can only be imposed from the top down. Providing multiple examples of how wealth creators benefit us all

About the book

In his new book, In Defence of Wealth: A Modest Rebuttal of the Charge the Rich Are Bad for Society (Barlow Books, March 24, 2022), entrepreneur and wealth creator Derek Bullen asserts that wealth creators aren’t the enemy, they are the solution. In a well formulated argument, Bullen makes the case that punishing prosperity is a failed focus.

The triumph of our capitalist system is that it doesn’t limit how high we want to climb. While that may mean a few at the very top are doing better than others, it doesn’t mean the others are worse off. The opposite, in fact, is true.
