Billionaire Wilderness: The Ultra-Wealthy and the Remaking of the American West Princeton Studies in Cultural Sociology Paperback March 2, 2021
"Billionaire Wilderness: The Ultra-Wealthy and the Remaking of the American West" is an academic book that explores the impact of wealth and nature Conservatism on Western towns. Some readers appreciate the opportunity to learn more about this issue, but others feel that the author's deep and evident bias ruins the research. The author's attempts to make successful individuals seem insincere, illegitimate and foolish are shown repeatedly, and some readers found it unbearable to finish the book. The book focuses primarily on Teton County, home to ultra-wealthy progressive liberals mainly from New York and Connecticut. Figures reveal how the top 1% in Teton County make 233 times more than the bottom 99%, and the incomes of the bottom 99% decreased from 1979 to 2011–while the top 1% grew enormously. Many readers note that the book reads more like an academic research study, and the author's anti-wealth bias is visible throughout. The book lacks insight into understanding why anyone chooses to live in areas of extreme beauty and lure, and no solutions are presented, only criticism of those deemed successful. The author promises an unbiased view, but readers sense the bias is palpable in nearly everything he writes.
