Capital without Borders:
Wealth Managers & the One Percent

2016, Harvard University Press

“Offers a timely account of how the 1% holds on to their wealth…[It] ought to keep wealth managers awake at night… and engage in the national discourse on inequality that has been gathering momentum since Thomas Piketty’s Capital in the Twenty-First Century.”
– Aifric Campbell, Wall Street Journal

“Harrington advises governments seeking to address inequality to focus not only on the rich but also on the professionals who help them game the system.”
– Richard Cooper, Foreign Affairs

“Brooke Harrington’s study of wealth management is one of those rare books where you just have to stand back in awe and wonder at the author’s achievement. In this intensely readable study, she offers a first-ever scholarly insight into a profession that was almost unknown a little over two decades ago… Don’t doubt the importance of this book’s messages: this is a significant and valuable case study at the current frontier of political economy.”
-Richard J. Murphy, Times Higher Education
