Product Description
by Lauren Greenfield (Author), Juliet Schor (Contribution by), Trudy Wilner Stack (Contribution by)
A highly anticipated monograph from the internationally acclaimed documentary photographer and filmmaker
Lauren Greenfield: Generation Wealth is both a retrospective and an investigation into the subject of wealth over the last twenty-five years. Greenfield has traveled the world - from Los Angeles to Moscow, Dubai to China - bearing witness to the global boom-and-bust economy and documenting its complicated consequences. Provoking serious reflection, this book is not about the rich, but about the desire to be wealthy, at any cost.
