"Should we be worried that the superclass seems to have an ever-expanding reach that bypasses governments and remains unchecked? A new breed has emerged. They set the global agenda, ride on Gulfstreams and manage the credit crunch in their spare time. They are anything but elected; they are entrepreneurs and entertainers, media moguls and former politicians - the self-made super rich who are using their money to lay down a new set of global rules. So where did this new global aristocracy come from and who is keeping them in check? Interviewees: Paul Theroux: Writer and novelist Paul Farhi: Journalist, The Washington Post Matthew Bishop: Author of ""Philanthrocapitalism"" Christopher Hitchens: Author of ""The Trial of Henry Kissinger"" Ken Silverstein: Author of ""How lobbyists plunder the nation"" Guests: David Rothkopf: Author of ""Superclass"" Jeff Faux: Author of ""The Global Class War"" Moisés Naím: Author of ""Illicit"" Janine Wedel: Author of ""Shadow Elite"""
